Potato Chunks, or Mashed
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe Book at www.dorothymcnett.com. These can be mashed, adding a little butter or milk as you whip them with a beater or potato masher. Great served with Fried Chicken and Milk Gravy!
3-4 medium potatoes, with skins on, or 6-8 small ones
salt and pepper
Wash and trim potatoes, cutting into chunks about the same size. If using small potatoes, leave them whole. Place in glass or ceramic batter bowl. Cover with a glass or ceramic plate, never plastic! Cook in microwave using 3 minutes per large potato as a guide. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve. If desired, mash them, adding 1-2 tablespoons butter or olive oil. If you want them to be really fluffy, use your electric beater. Using a potato masher is nice as it leaves a bit more texture in the potatoes. You choose!
