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. That bill would be the reconciliation piece; it would reconcile changes that the House wants with the Senate's original version.
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.
3- Meanwhile, grab 2 to 3 medium-size potatoes, rinse thoroughly and peel them. 4- Cut them in small pieces. 5- As soon as the water boils, transfer the potato pieces to the water and add salt (to taste). 6- Cook for about 35 minutes. Check the potatoes with a fork to make sure they are tender enough. 7- Drain the pot, add 1/3 cup of half and half, 2 tablespoons of butter and use the potato masher like you mean it. 8- When they get fluffy enough to your liking (people disagree how much fluffiness is too much) serve and enjoy!
