A good measure is 1 potato per serving, plus 1 more potato.
So for one person:
2 potatoes, peeled, or not but don't peel baby reds & cut into chunks (smaller pieces cook faster)
Put potatoes in pot and cover with cold water.
Add generous amount of salt -1/2 t- or so to water.
Bring to boil and cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender -about 15 minutes.
Drain potatoes and return them to warm pot over low heat.
Use mixer or masher or immersion blender to mash.
Add 2-3 T butter and 1/2 c chicken stock or milk.
Beat well, adding more stock or milk until desired consistency is reached.
Taste and add salt or butter if desired.
Top with ground pepper and chives, crumbled bacon, sour cream, shredded chicken, etc.
