Generously season your cooking water with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder or any seasonings you like. You will not need to season after cooking. When adding your milk (or cream for me), make sure you have heated in a sauce pan first.

This one time at KFC I ate mashed potatoes! They tasted like plastic and chicken, it was awesome.

The sad part was when they were peeled, the happy part was when they were mashed.
