Notes
- Potatoes cooked with milk produce creamier mashed potatoes, however you can use just chicken broth to cook the potatoes if you prefer (1 cup).
- For richer, creamier potatoes, use heavy cream instead of Half and Half.
- For lighter potatoes you can use milk instead of Half and Half and cook the potatoes just in broth (1 cup).
