Instructions
  1. Dump it all in a sauce pan, heat to a simmer, stirring frequently. Give the seasonings a half hour or more to cook together, then taste and add more of whatever as needed. Just remember - Oregano gets stronger as it cooks, so you need to have plenty of time to let it cook and release the oils, or you can easily get too much!
  2. If you want - I do - use a blender or hand mixer to smooth out the sauce a bit.
Recipe Notes

Each serving is ~1/2 C.

Instructions
  1. Peel potatoes and cut into somewhat evenly sized chunks.
  2. Put in saucepan and cover with water with a 1/2" to spare. Add a good amount of iodized salt, maybe 1 Tbsp. Bring to a boil, watching to make sure they don't boil over.
  3. When taters are fork tender, about 10-15 minutes of boiling, drain water, then use a potato masher to make them creamy, but you can leave a few tender chunks as little surprises for later.
  4. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  5. Serve.
