Mashed Potatoes

There's no picture because well (burp...)

I had an event tonight that I was asked to bring 20 lbs of mashed potatoes.

Did I mention 20 lbs in 12 minutes???  And it was only 12 minutes because my pc wasn't large enough for all the potatoes at once.

I bought 2 bags of red potatoes. Washed them.  Cut out the eyes.  Then cut in 1/4 and 1/3 depending on the size of the potato.  I was looking for about 2 inch chunks.  In 1 cup of chicken broth, I cooked for 6 minutes on high pressure. Quick release.  Dumped into an extra large bowl.  Filled the pc up again and did the other half.  While the 2nd half was cooking, I added 1/2 cube butter, 1/2 block cream cheese, and 1 cup heavy cream.  Then I used my potato masher and mashed the heck out of those poor spuds.  Seasoned with garlic pepper, salt and celery salt.  I then transferred to a crockpot.  I repeated with the other pot of potatoes, used the other half of the butter, cream and cream cheese and voila! 20 lbs of mashed potatoes in 12 minutes.

I LOVE MY PC!!
