Author Notes: This recipe, also part of my Cuban Cooking project is hands-down the best mashed potato recipe I have made – ever. It has four ingredients and doubles and triples with ease. I served it this past Thanksgiving and my guests couldn’t pin-point what it was made with. Kept them coming back for more. —christinagp
