Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 6 - 8 small russet potatoes, cooked and sliced
• 1 1/2 cups half and half

Here's how to make it: 

1. Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet (preferred) or nonstick skillet. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until they begin to lightly brown. (You could use Yukon gold, white or red potatoes for this recipe, though russet is the classic potato for mashed potatoes.)
2. Pour in the half and half. Gently simmer until the potatoes absorb all the liquid, about 12 to 15 minutes. Gently mash the potatoes if you want less chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or parsley flakes, if desired.
