The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Mashed potatoes are good and garlic mashed potatoes are better, but horseradish garlic mashed potatoes are best. The spicy horseradish works great with savory flavors, so these potatoes really shine when topped with brisket slices or saucy pot roast.

8 large russet potatoes
softened butter to taste
milk, as needed
2 tablespoons horseradish
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
salt, to taste
Fill a large pan with water and place over medium-high heat. While the water is coming to a boil, peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Add the potato chunks to the water.
Cook the potatoes until tender (they are done when they can easily be pierced with a fork).
Drain the potatoes well and return to the pan. Add butter and milk as desired (add more as needed). Mash with a potato masher until well mixed.
Add the horseradish, garlic, and salt. Stir well then serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
