Notes
In this recipe, I used regular butter but oftentimes I replace standard butter with Smart Balance. It's healthier and tastes just as good.
If you are using salted butter, cut back on the amount of salt you put in the water and in the actual potatoes themselves.
Remember taste as you go and make it your own!
