a brand, rather a variety of potato – golden in color and fluffy in texture when mashed. Give them a try, they are pretty on the table and tasty. Good luck!
You will need:
Two pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
Two tablespoons of butter
One cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring your butter to room temperature. First, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

One cup heavy whipping cream
One can sweetened condensed milk
1 2/3 cups whiskey, preferably Irish!
