Ingredients
2 cups Swanson® Chicken Broth or Organic Chicken Broth or 100% Natural 33% Less Sodium Chicken Broth
2 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potato or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)

- Heat over high heat to a boil, then cover and cook (still on high) for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain the potatoes, reserving the broth.
- Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter and about 1/2 cup reserved broth (the consistency will vary depending on the type of potatoes used, so you may want to add more of the reserved broth- see ingredient note).
