Wasabi Mashed Potatoes
serves 3-5 

6 potatoes, peeled
3-4 oz cream cheese.
2-3 tablespoons butter
salt
2 to 3 tablespoons wasabi 

Put the potatoes in a pot and add water to more than cover them.
Salt the hell out of the water.  Boil potatoes until they are soft.

Drain the potatoes and add the butter and cream cheese and mash.
Add the wasabi, a bit at a time. Add less than you think you might
want because if you let the mashed potatoes sit any length of time,
the intensity of the wasabi flavor increases.

Let the mashed potatoes sit for about 10-20 minutes. Then add two
or three tablespoons of milk and reheat them while continuing to
mash them (this makes them a bit creamier).

Serve.
