6~9 Lg. Yukon Potatoes, Washed & Cubed Largely
4~8 Cups Veggie Stock
Sea Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder & Dry Salad Dressing Mix
1/2 ~1 Cup Butter Milk
1/2~1 Sour Cream
1 Stick of Butter, Softened
1~2 Leeks, Sliced & Rinsed
1~2 Cups Grated White Cheddar Cheese
In a large pot bring veggie stock, potatoes & salt to a boil. Boil until potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes over leeks put potatoes & leeks back into pot add butter, milk, sour cream, dry salad dressing mix, pepper and salt to taste. Hand mash to desire consistency. 

This is one of my dishes I do by feel & taste. I usually leave the peel on the potatoes & there are usually a few lumps of potatoes for an interesting texture.
I serve these potatoes with my Meatloaf, Pork Tender Loin, Chicken or Turkey.

If there are left over potatoes I use them in my Corn Chowder or Potato Leek Soup or Potato Pancakes.

Enjoy!
