2 Tablespoons Half n Half, Or More To Taste

1 Pinch Celery Salt, Or More To Taste

Step 1 Cut potatoes into quarters and place into a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender and a fork slides easily into each potato, about 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2 Mash potatoes. Add 2 tablespoon each butter and milk. Adjust the measurements if needed-if it’s dry, add more milk and if it’s not creamy enough, add more butter. Add celery salt and salt; continue to mash until there are no clumps of potato left and everything is thoroughly blended.
