Accidental Mashed Potatoes

A few days ago I was cooking beef filets. I planned on serving them with buttered potatoes and buttered corn. I was trying so hard to get the filets perfect, that I kind of forgot the potatoes. They boiled away un disturbed. When I strained them in the collander, they were very tender. Too tender as a matter of fact. I was kind of cook on the fly anyway so not to be bothered I thru in some butter and milk and got out the mixer. I yelled to the boys in the living room, "we are having mashed potatoes." The boys didn't seem affected at all.
