For those who like good tasting food on the quick and cheap, here's my mashed potato recipe from tonight's party, which I'm told was good.

- 1 box of Hungry Jack instant mashed potatoes (20 serving size)
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 half gallon of buttermilk
- 2.5 teaspoons of salt
- 5.75 cups of water

It essentially follows the recipe on the Hungry Jack box, but I never like using imitation products like margarine and skim milk that try to be "healthier" for you. Because buttermilk is so thick, it took more like 5 or 6 cups worth to actually get the mashed potatoes to stop being lumpy. The result is pretty sweet, as the mashed potatoes have just a hint of the buttermilk flavor while not being overpowering. Just watch out for those who can't eat heart attack potatoes, since these suckers are loaded.
