A: The House of Representatives is expected to try to approve the health care bill that the Senate approved on Dec. 24. If that happens, then a second bill would be offered.

Add salt to the water, if desired. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium low. Cover the pot and simmer until potatoes are tenderâabout 15 to 20 minutes. A knife tip inserted into a potato should meet no resistance; if the potato clings to the knife, the potatoes need to cook longer. When potatoes are done, remove from heat and drain immediately.
Directions. 1  Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. 2  Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. 3  Drain potatoes, and transfer to a bowl. 4  Add butter, and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth. 5  Add milk and sour cream, and mix to your desired texture.
