Instructions
- Boil potatoes, mash and season to taste with milk and butter and salt.

Notes
To save time, you can also use instant mashed potato and prepare it as per direction in the box. But I usually use milk instead of just hot water by warming milk in a bowl in the microwave, then adding the powdered mashed potato, butter and some salt to taste.
You may also use other beans like white beans or chickpeas instead of chili beans.
