These were just ok. They didn't taste like anything special and got a wierd shiny sheen on top. I probably won't make them again- but it was a good use of leftover evaporated milk. As long as your gravy/sauce is tasty enough, they're ok. I served these with Jagerschnitzel from this site.

Wow, these taste even better than I expected! We had them with Adobo Sirloin from this site and plain green beans, and my husband says he wants this meal as often as I'll make it! I cut up the potatoes before boiling, and they were soft enough to mash easily with a hand masher after 15 minutes -- just enough time to make the rest of the meal. Thanks for a great recipe!

Ever since I was a little girl, this is how my mom, my mom's mom and my mom's mom's mom has made mashed potatoes. There is something exquisite about them. I have now hooked my boyfriend and his parents on this simple way of making potatoes to come home to. I have found that the best mashed "evaporated milk" potatoes come from small smooth red potatoes. Definitely a must try and maybe they will become part of your traditions as well!
