Who says college students eat poorly?

A dinner I made for myself and my roommate one night last semester, consisting of mashed potatoes, tilapia, and broccoli. The fish and vegetables are pretty self-explanatory.

For the potatoes, you need butter or margarine, sour cream, milk, and salt and pepper. Roasted garlic would be a splendid addition if you have it, but granulated is fine in a pinch, and usually, college students are in pinch.

The amount of potatoes you need depends on how many people you are feeding. One large potato per person is probably plenty. I used red potatoes, but whatever you have is fine. Peel them or don't, but be sure to scrub the skin if you are going to eat it. I hate peeling so I left the skins on. Cube them, and boil until easily penetrated with a fork. Drain, and mash. Add everything else to taste-- My advice is to add a tiny bit of everything slowly, and taste after each addition to get the proportions you like. It really is that simple. And trust me, these are way better than that powdery flakey crap that comes in a box.
