This is a Jenn Original Recipe! It’s not very complicated but it’s gotten good reviews:
3-4 large red-skinned potatoes
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter
2 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
Boil a large pot of water. Halve or quarter potatoes and boil until tender (usually when the skin begins to separate from the flesh of the potato) and drain.
In a large mixing bowl, mash potatoes with an electric mixer (don’t turn the mixer on, just use the beaters to smash the potato pieces). Add milk, cheese, butter, seasoning, garlic and salt. Beat on medium speed until ingredients are mixed and potatoes are to desired consistency (some like potatoes very smooth, I prefer to have some lumps). Serve topped with fresh ground black pepper.
When reheating, add a splash of milk and a nice pat of butter to the potatoes before putting in microwave.

If you don’t have italian seasoning, use a combination of oregano, basil, thyme and rosemary.
