1/2 c Half-and-half
1 1/2 tb Paprika (or more)
dr Tabasco sauce
Cut potato into chunks and boil in water until quite done, a little over-done. You should end up with about a cup of water in the pot. Mash potato chunks in pot with water; will be a juicy, mushy mixture. Stir in spices, butter and half-and-half; mix well. Add paprika a teaspoon or so at at time (to taste) until mixture thickens. Stir in Tabasco sauce and serve. Cathe’s notes: * Varies a lot from time to time; might need to experiment.
