1/ 8 teaspoon pepper
4 eggs, beaten

Method.
Heat 1â water (salted, if desired) to boiling; add potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling. Cook 20 to 25 m or until tender; drain and let dry. Heat oven to 425F. Grease cookie sheet. Mash potatoes until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, beating after each addition (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on what kind of potatoes used).
