Lanai’s Famous Homemade Slap Someone’s Granny Again Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Disclaimer: Again, no actual grannies have been hurt in the making of this recipe. Lanai does not really endorse slapping a granny, so don’t do it!

Ingredients

• ·         5 medium red potatoes
• ·         ½ cup milk
• ·         ¾ cup butter
• ·         1 cup shredded cheddar
• ·         1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ·         ¼ teaspoon pepper

 Clean, peel and cube potatoes and place in a pot with water about 1 inch above potatoes. Sprinkle in a little garlic powder and let boil for about 25 minutes or until tender.

In a bowl mix milk, butter, garlic powder, pepper and cheese. When potatoes are tender and drained, pour them into the mixture. Use a cake beater to combine everything or do it the old fashioned way using a fork and elbow grease. (lol) Add salt to taste.

To top off this totally awesome meal, throw in a can of corn or another favorite vegetable. If you decide on corn I totally recommend simmering it in a small saucepan with a 3 tablespoons of butter,  1/2 teaspoon salt,  ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Enjoy and again refrain from slapping somebody.
