MOMS SMOTHERED MASHED POTATOES #5FIX

Steps:

• Brown ground chuck and chopped red onion in a large skillet. Drain fat (I push the chuck and onion to the side and put a folded paper towel on the other side. Tip the pan so the fat runs to the paper towel. Less time and no need to dirty other dishes.) Add tomato soup and drained green beans. Stir and heat through. Meanwhile, heat your Simply Traditional Mashed Potatoes. Put a large mound of potatoes on each plate and smother with the green bean and tomato mixture. OMG is this good!

CREAMY MASHED POTATO

Steps:

• Place in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt. Add water so it's 10cm / 4" above potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it's simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart).
• Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
• Add Flavourings then mash well, using milk to make it looser if desired.
• DO NOT use: a beater, stick blender, food processor or blender. You can pulse with a stand mixer or handheld mixer but be cautious, stop as soon as it's creamy (potatoes will quickly go from perfect to gluey using appliances).
• Transfer to serving bowl, make pretty swirls across the top and drizzle over butter. Sprinkle with chives then serve!
