Mashed Potato

My husband always judges a restaurant by its mashed potato. He says if a restaurant can't even make decent mashed potato, how can you expect it to make a decent meal?  Personally I don't agree with him but hey, to each his own.  Don't get me wrong, I love mashed potato but I don't judge a restaurant based on that.  Well, I'm glad I'm not exactly a "restaurant" as I like to make mashed potato from scratch whenever I have the time and it's not blow-your-mind-amazing, but I think it's still pretty good :)

Ingredients:
8 small russet potatoes (prbly equivalent to 3 big ones)
1/4 cup milk
4 oz cream cheese
seasoning salt
dill weed

Boil the potatoes in water until soft - drain water and peel skin.  In the same pot, add milk and mash the skinless potato.  Mix in cream cheese, seasoning salt and dill weed.

*I've made variations to this simple recipe - depends on my mood of what I want it to taste like.  You can add herbs, garlic powder or just leave it plain without any seasoning other than salt.
