- 4 potatoes
- 1/2 cup of milk (heated in the microwave)
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 a stick)
- Salt and pepper
- Red food color
Equipment:
- Medium pot
- Colander
- Electric mixer or hand masher
- Measuring cup
Directions:

- Reduce the heat, and cook for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- Turn off the stove, pour the potatoes into a colander and shake to get the water off.
- Put the potatoes in a bowl; with an electric mixer or hand beater, beat the potatoes, butter
and a little salt and pepper, adding the milk while you mix.

try mixing colors!)
