mashed potatoes are cooked potatoes, skinned and riced, then mixed over heat with milk and butter.

>>17383565
>riced

mashed potatoes are supposed to have lumps, not be creamy.

>>17383572

>>17383572
maybe if you're some poor faggot in some polish ghetto making mashed potatoes as a once-a-year celebration served alongside whatever rats you managed to scavenge.
In the first world mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy.

I don't do milk or cream or anything. Sometimes I'll mix in some diced chive or other fresh ürbs if I have any on hand. Good way to get rid of parsley because they sell it in gigantic bushels and you gotta use it up before it goes off

>>17383620
Is it bad if I don't wash them? I pick off any big chunks of dirt but I can't be bothered washing. I do the same with mushrooms.

Mashed pumpkin

>>17383628
not it's fine. i just prefer to get any stubborn dirt off them. same with mushrooms, you do what you can but it's hard to be really thorough

fun fax: one time I was eating raw mushrooms and suddenly there were thousands of almost microscopic spiders all over my face and going up into my hair. i bit a fucking egg sac in half that was tucked under the cap

now i fucking put those fuckers in tupperware half filled with water and shake the shit out of it

Oh I've also taken to including some carrot into the mix (about 2 parts potato to 1 part carrot) it's so goddamn good with a little butter and thyme

>>17383640
Fuck me that's grim.atdat

>>17383640
>n..no anon I'm not in living in a third world shithole y.you're the one in a third world shithole
>wh..what do you mean your mushrooms don't come with thousands of spiders
kek

>>17383649
I never implied anything like this one way or another

>>17383162
I used to use a food mill but nowadays I use the attachment that came with my new stick blender Mashes well and fast.

I like chunky potatoes
So usually I have chopped potatoes, in 1/8’s or 1/10’s, boil em, dress them, and mash them with a fork along the way. It gud
Otherwise its mini potatoes which is the same process

if I have a pot luck , i'm gonna put blue food dye in the mashed potatoes just so i can be " that guy who brought the blue mashed potatoes"

>>17383712
if you really want to up your game use methylene blue

>>17383712

>>17383162
I also use my ricer
Boil potatoes in salted water
Drain
Rice em
Add butter
Add milk
Add white pepper
Add nutmeg
Serve

Just gad some on Tuesday with Bratwurst and a pan sauce

>>17383716
are you telling me there are people out there who literally bleed blue...

>>17383729
and peeh blue

>>17383743
cool lol. if you drink that nuka cola dyi do you think you pee neon pee?

>>17383751
idunno anything about that but methylene blue will make your peeh blue (or green, depending on dose) and it'll also make your pooh blooh

i guess it would be fun to spike someone's food with methylene blue and tons of vitamin b just to get a really vivid green going on kek

anyway, this is supposed to be a taters thread

>>17383162
throw in some greek yogurt with sour cream

>>17383628
no, you are correct

>>17383640
reminds me of that one story from Scary Stories to Read in the Dark about the girl with the spider sac in her face

>>17383727
nutmeg is the secret spice for mashed taters

>>17383764
>Scary Stories to Read in the Dark
fucking love that shit. Stephen Gammell is a legend

never bothered with the film though

>>17383640
I've read countless creepypastas, but this got me freaked out like none other.

Is pommes aligot worth the hype?

>>17383687
That's one hell of a buttplug

>>17383716
That'll make people sick though

skins ON
and I mash them with a really old wooden masher
lots of butter included and some sour cream

>>17383712
Just use blueberry skins.

open packet, add water and butter, bring to boil, let cool, profit

>>17384613
tmethylene blue is a completely inert dye and doesn't make people sick at all anon

>>17383579
>>17383572
>>17383585

third world african nigger here.
mashed potatoes are supposed to be creamy you absolute faggots even ugandan tribes know that

>>17383572

>>17383162
Roasted garlic, butter and a block of cream cheese. Thanks me later.

The secret to good mashed taters is Milnot instead of milk.

>>17384666
It'll react with certain medications.

>>17384925
That's basically skim milk and corn syrup, no thanks.

>>17384946
which medications

>>17384952
You're already eating a big pile of carbohydrates and starch that is as unhealthy as can be by itself. Not using milnot is like ordering a diet coke when you get 4 big macs.

>>17384976
Potatoes are healthy and nutritious.

Peel the potatoes and boil. Fry the skins in butter, add milk and keep warm. Rice the potatoes, strain in the skin flavoured milk and butter. wala
