Watch potatoes and check them to see when they are tender.

Drain water off of potatoes, Pour back into pot or bowl.
Use Potato masher to mash up potatoes.

You can cook them stove top, bake, or microwave.

I have done them all. But the best to me is in the oven!

Bake @350 for 20 minutes.

OR

Microwave until potatoes are soft, same for stove top.

I make them however depending on how quick i want them done...tonight i coooked them in the microwave.
