Mashed Potatoes recipe

I got this recipe off the internet too. It looks yummy and easy to prepare.

Ingredients
900 grams baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tbsp butter
1 cup milk
Salt, pepper to taste

Method
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm (this should take about 15 minutes); drain.

In a small saucepan, heat butter and milk over low heat until the butter melts.

Using a potato masher or electric beater, slowly blend milk mixture into the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

Season with salt and pepper.

2. Almond Meringue Cookies

This is actually a German recipe, but has always been popular for Christmas evenings. As the ingredients are easily available (almonds, eggs, cinnamon), they aren't too difficult to prepare either.

Ingredients
3 egg whites
1 tsp grated lemon zest
300 grams ground almonds
1 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 ground cinnamon

Method
Preheat oven to 325° F (165°C).

Grease and lightly flour a pan or cookie sheet.

Whip the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks are formed.

Sprinkle in the sugar slowly and keep whipping for around five minutes until the whites can hold a stiff peak.

Add lemon zest and cinnamon, and put in the almonds until everything is blended evenly.

Drop little mounds using a big spoon onto the baking sheet/ pan. Place an almond on each cookie.

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
