Ingredients

2.5 lbs. russet potatoes ($0.87)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.02)

4 Tbsp butter ($0.72)

1/2 cup whole milk ($0.16)

1 tsp dried parsley ($0.10)

1/2 tsp dried oregano ($0.05)

1/2 tsp dried basil ($0.05)

1/4 tsp garlic powder ($0.02)

1/4 tsp onion powder ($0.02)

1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)

freshly cracked pepper ($0.02)

Instructions

1 Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a colander and rinse well with cool water.

2 Place the rinsed potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover the potatoes by one inch. Season the water with 1/2 tsp salt. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Boil the potatoes until they are VERY tender, about 7-10 minutes.

3 Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander, then rinse briefly with hot water.

4 Add the butter, milk, and garlic herb seasoning o the pot used to boil the potatoes. Stir and heat over low until the butter has melted and the milk is hot.

5 Once the milk is hot, add the potatoes back to the pot, turn off the heat and mash with a potato masher. Once the potatoes are mostly mashed, use a hand mixer to briefly whip the potatoes until they are light and fluffy. Taste the potatoes and add salt to taste, if needed, then serve.
