Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are nice and easy. Just cut the potato up into cubes and drop them in a rice cooker then fill it with enough water to cover them. Turn the rice cooker onto quick cook and let it go until it beeps.

When you take the potatoes out they should be so soft that you can just mash them directly in your bowl with a fork. I recommend using some kind of spoon to get the potatoes out of your rice cooker though so as to not scratch the bowl and because the potatoes will fall apart if you try to stab them. I used a spaghetti spoon since it has a straining hole in the center which means you get just potato and no water.

Once mashed you can add butter / margarine / substitute, sour cream / substitute, etc.
