MASHED VEGGIES (Better than just mashed potatoes :))

INGREDIENTS:
2 large potatoes
2 large carrots
2 large sweet potatoes
1/4 large squash
butter
milk
salt & pepper

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Wash, peel and cut in quarters all the veggies (or cubed for the squash). Put veggies in a large pot and add with water until all veggies are completely covered. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes or until done (a fork can easily be poked through them). Drain water and place them in a large bowl. Use potato masher (or a really strong spoon/fork) and mash and mix the veggies. Add butter and milk little by little until you achieve your desired consistency. Do not overbeat the veggies if you don't want them gluey. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Best served with gravy :)
