Medium
Sent by Madd Russian, US Army Vet, Connecticut USA
Ingredients:
5 pounds potatoes, peeled and chopped small
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 stick butter
1/2 cup milk, or more as needed
salt and pepper as needed
1 head iceberg lettuce
ketchup
1.
In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes crumble with a fork.
2.
Drain off the water and put potatoes in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, mash the potatoes and add sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, and milk.
Add enough milk to make the potatoes as smooth as an icing mix that peaks.
3. Remove any bad-looking outside leaves of the lettuce head. Slice the
whole head with a bread knife to look like coleslaw, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Put a large handful of lettuce in a dish, add a big scoop of mashed
potatoes on top. Mix well, top with tomato ketchup, and enjoy.
