milk
Adobo seasoning to taste
Peel potatoes and quarter. Boil in enough water to cover potatoes until potatoes are tender. Drain. Mix all ingredients except milk and mash with a potato masher or large fork. Add enough milk to make potatoes creamy. If you like very creamy mashed potatoes you can use a mixer to get a good whipped consistency.

If you want a healthier version, omit sour cream, mix with skim milk and add butter buds for flavor.
