Cook IDAHO RUSSETT potatoes in skins until you can get fork about ¼ of the way through. Be sure not to over-cook. Cool and skin. Run through ricer or shredder. Do not use much grease in your skillet. Use just enough to keep from sticking. HERE IS THE BIG SECRET. Sprinkle with paprika along with salt and pepper. The paprika is what browns the potatoes and makes the world of difference.
