4 lg. all-purpose potatoes
1/2 an onion, peeled
1/2 tsp. Butter Buds per potato or more to taste
1/2 c. evaporated skim milk or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Nutmeg (optional)

Peel potatoes, quarter them, and put in a pot with the onions. Cover with cold water and boil, covered, until just tender (about 20 minutes) - do not overcook. Drain potatoes in a colander. Discard onion; return potatoes to pot and briefly shake over dry heat. Sprinkle with Butter Buds; cover and let them sit 5 minutes. Mash the potatoes, then switch to a whisk and beat in enough milk to give a pleasing consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more Butter Buds if wish and several gratings of nutmeg. Serves 4.
