Linda'S Fluffy Mashed Potatoes

• 8 large potatoes, peeled, and quartered
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 - 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 2 eggs

1. In a large pan, boil potatoes with salt until tender, 15-20 minutes.
2. Drain water, and add remaining ingredients.
3. Mash until smooth, with a potato masher.
4. Do not whip continually with a beater, or they will get gooey, and starchy as the gluten breaks down.
5. Note: You can turn this recipe into garlic mashed potatoes, by adding 3 cloves roasted garlic when you mash.
6. You can turn this recipe into garlic onion mashed potatoes, by adding sauteed onions, and roasted garlic to your taste, while mashing.
7. For another tasty dish, try adding shredded Cheddar cheese, and cooked broccoli pieces.
