The Deli's mashed potatoes aren't very complicated. Each pound of potatoes serves about 3 people.

Optional additions:

Sautéed finely chopped onion or roasted garlic. For the latter, preheat oven to 350 degrees, chop tip off garlic head to expose cloves, and pull off loose peel. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with fresh pepper, and bake, wrapped in tin foil, for 45 minutes. Squeeze garlic head to release cloves, mash them up, and mix them into the potatoes. Alternately, you can simply sauté large chunks of garlic in olive oil.
