Quick Cooking Potatoes

Tonight, Nick and I took dinner over to his grandmother's house. It was so good--the food and conversation. Also we got to spend some time with Nick's cousin, Kevin, who was over for dinner as well. Well, I cooked this meal tonight after I got off work so I definitely needed to make sure it was fast! I made homemade mashed potatoes. Usually I would not make these in a time crunch but had a brilliant thought..."Why not slice the potatoes so they cook faster?" So I did. And it worked wonders!

I figured the amount of time spent dicing the potatoes vs. time spent slicing (about an 1/8"-1/4") was the same--maybe 8-10mins. I just filled the water, covered it, and started heating it on med-high. Then I sliced the potatoes and placed them in the heating water when I had too many on the cutting board. Added salt and chicken bouillon, and let it boil for about 15 mins (about half the time had I diced them). They were perfect! Mashed with butter, milk, and s/p. Delish! Try this one and enjoy a fabulous homemade dinner.
