“I use to watch my Aunt warm the milk before mashing her potatoes and decided to follow your instructions and wow, what a difference that made!! I also put them in my crock pot to keep warm, as an experiment before Thanksgiving, thank you I was pleased with ho” — a cook, 5.0★
“Absolutely in love! I added a bit of nutmeg as well since that what my mom usually does. :) I served it with a veggie salad and honestly, it was difficult to say which of the two was supposed to be a side dish, that's how good the potatoes were... #MadeWithEr” — a cook, 5.0★
