Mashed Potato Topper
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until you can stick a fork easily through the potato.
Add butter and cream a little at a time and mash potatoes with a wooden spoon. Add more as needed. You can always add more but you can't take it away.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
