TWO-INGREDIENT MASHED POTATOES
These weeknight mashed potatoes taste purely like potato. The secret? Starchy water. Save some of it after you boil the potatoes, and after mashing, stir it back in, a tablespoon at a time, until they come together. Then, add with a little sour cream for tang. It's that easy - and creamy and light. Take it from Ma Ingalls of "Little House on the Prairie" fame: "There was no milk, but Ma said, 'Leave a very little of the boiling water in, and after you mash them beat them extra hard with the big spoon.' The potatoes turned out white and fluffy."

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Put them in a large saucepan, add 2 tablespoons salt, and cover them by 1 inch of cold water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to medium and let cook until piercing with a fork yields no resistance, about 10 minutes.
- Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes over low heat using a potato masher or wooden spoon until completely mashed.
- Vigorously stir in the reserved potato water, adding 1 tablespoon at a time until the potatoes are smooth and come together (you will use about 1/2 cup). Stir in the sour cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES - FOR 2
Tasty, no-fail recipe. My husband loves these and so do I! We love them so much that no restaurant mashed potatoes can ever do! Use more garlic if you like and you can also add more pepper or a little smoked paprika. Use regular salt and it's good, using truffled salt makes it OH SO GOOD! So good, so easy! Portion size is perfect for 2 people
