I only eat instant mashed potatoes

Make them with whipping cream nit milk

>>15037998
NOPE.

>>15038006
I did too when my wisdom teeth were taken out

>>15037998
I wish I wasn't such a fatass and could eat carbs, I fucking love mashed potatoes so much!

>>15037998
I stopped peeling potatoes out of sheer laziness and now I much prefer the texture with the skin on. Not to mention the skin contains a lot of nutrients.

There is no reason to peel other than aesthetics. I never peel anymore, waste of time.

Oh and the answer is age 23

>>15038968
I only peel if I'm making soups that call for the textural uniformity, like clam chowder.

Mashed potatoes is the only time I actually peel potatoes. Occasionally I'll peel them when I'm cooking a roast.

>>15037998
I only eat smash

>>15037998
Around the time I realized mono potato mashed potatoes is a crime and that golden potatoes and russets are meant to be together. I also enjoy the triple threat of golden, russets and purple potatoes or with sweet potatoes.

>>15037998
It depends on the potato. Some potatoes have skin that's too thick and it's like chewing on paper. Smaller potatoes have thinner skin and are fine to leave on though.

This, if you're using yellow potatoes or the massive russets its totally fine. Hell it's more dangerous peeling little potatoes anyway. That said if you have a thick skinned russet it tastes like shit, then I'll half ass peeling them at least

>>15037998
What age when you realized that you're a faggot and write like a faggot. Are you some kind of survey bitch? Answer your own question before expecting others to answer it, now piss off.

>Implying carbs make you fat vs calories in calories out
Okay fattie

There are no nutrient in potato skin, actually there is only solanin, which is toxin. You only really should eat unpeeled tatoes when they are fresh harvested. The longer tatoes get stored, the higher Solanin levels rise.

Mommy pwease take the skin off my mashies!!

>>15042017
No son, you'll have to learn to do that yourself, mommie has better things to do if you know what I mean.

>>15042064
Mr tyrone is here again! Have fun wrestling ma ma

>>15037998
well skippy my boy. I'm 54 and while I can eat mashed potatoes with the skins on they DO NOT taste better. explain what about the skins taste better. be as detailed as possible. I am keen to hear all the intricate tastes.

>>15038968
not only do I not peel them anymore, I stopped bathing and wiping as well. I am so smart.

>>15041401
I'll see that and raise you a Mr Potato head.

>>15042177
What are you, like that tree house living blonde bitch Daryl Hannah?

>>15042177
>stopped wiping
Who wipes their ass anymore? Wiping your ass is barbaric. The master race uses bidets.

An ex girlfriend didn't know how to use those and almost burned herself, some chicks are just plain goofy.

>>15042663
>>15042687
Maybe she did that on porposie to see if I cared, some chicks are just plain goofy I tell ya and this was a NYC chick so I suspect that she'd have known better, but then who really knows. At least I didn't knock her up or get married to her, for better or worse.

>>15037998
I haven't peeled a potato in over 10 years.

>>15037998
Big brain move: peel the potatoes, but add the peels back to the boil a bit before the potatoes are ready to be mashed.

People who don't peal their potatoes are lazy and should feel ashamed of themselves.

I bake my potatoes and squeeze them from the skin, which is the only reason I don't include it. Much better than cutting, boiling, and drying.

>>15044462
Same with people who don't wash their meat.

>>15044575
I wash my meat everyday.

>>15037998
The next step is to realise the mashing is also a degradation of the superior whole boiled potato, and the only reason you do it is to hide the potato flavour behind butter or cream.

>>15044694
Why boil potatoes at all when you can bake them?

>>15037998
False, the inclusion of potato skins benefits differently from different flavors/thickness of skin. Most potato recipes improved by leaving skins are for other cooking methods compared to mashed potatoes.
