1/4 cup chopped garlic (or minced)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Romano Cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened (or use 2 tablespoons milk)
Wash potatoes and put in a large kettle, cover with cold water and cook potatoes over medium heat until they come to a full boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover and continue cooking until potatoes are very soft
Mean while, shop the garlic into small pieces. Alternatively, mince
Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl
Add garlic, oregano, salt, cheese and butter ( or milk)
With a potato masher (or mixer), mash until all ingredients are mixed together.
Garnish with additional cheese and parsley
Serves 8
Miz Helen's Additions and tips
My red skin potatoes were from my garden and they were a little smaller so I used more potatoes
I added  1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the season
I drained the water from the kettle and mashed the potatoes in the cooking kettle, then added the butter and seasons.
