1 lg Potato
2 c  Water
1 ts Garlic, minced
1/2 ts Garlic salt
1 ts Black pepper, coarse
2 tb Butter
1/2 c  Half-and-half
1 1/2 tb Paprika (or more)
dr Tabasco sauce

Cut potato into chunks and boil in water until quite done, a little
over-done. You should end up with about a cup of water in the pot. Mash
potato chunks in pot with water; will be a juicy, mushy mixture.

Stir in spices, butter and half-and-half; mix well. Add paprika a teaspoon
or so at at time (to taste) until mixture thickens. Stir in Tabasco sauce
and serve.
