One year, My friend's step mom forgot to buy cream for the mashed potatoes.

Don't worry though, she found a clever replacement last minute.

If your standard potatoes, milk, butter, spices mash isn't good, you're probably using shitty potatoes. Variety is fine, but you can't skimp on the main ingredient and be surprised when the finished product isn't good.

I was in alaska once and had golden potatoes with gravy. I'm almost certain they were using some sort of game bird gravy I'd never had. Or else I'm too stupid to replicate it. It's thrown me through a complete loop since I've had it. That whole taste.

Duck fat, cultured butter, a pinch of nutmeg,and the proper amount of salt, start with a 1/2 tsp per pound, then taste and adjust.

You can also add a couple cloves of garlic pasted and cooked in the fat on low, or a bunch of fresh chives finely chopped.

Also also after you cook the potatoes and strain them, put them back in the pot on low heat and stir for a while until they take on a texture kinda like wet clumpy sand.

Naw, don't runny your shit up with milk. Cream, maybe. I can't remember if it was Chef Ramsey or Alton Brown that suggested roasting your potatoes and scooping the insides out, and never letting the potato come in contact with water.

For me that's had the best results if you have the time.

potatoes 101 class

waxy varieties include Charlotte, Maris Peer, and Jersey Royals,Red Bliss or New Potatoes

less starch, like most red-skinned potatoes

Starchy: Like the classic Idaho or Russet, these potatoes are (obviously) high in starch and low in moisture. They’re fluffy, making them great for boiling, baking and frying, but they don’t hold their shape well, so they should be avoided in dishes like casseroles, gratins and potato salads.

Waxy: Like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, these have a low starch content and are often characterized by a creamy, firm and moist flesh that holds its shape well after cooking. They’re typically great for roasting, boiling, casseroles and potato salads.

All-Purpose: These potatoes have a medium starch content that fall somewhere in between the starchy and waxy potatoes. They’re a true multi-purpose potato, and therefore can be used for just about any cooking application. example is the Yukon Gold.
potatoes are mostly bland which why they feed them to people with stomach problems
anything you want can go into a potatoe dish
and mashed or riced potatoes are science projects add anything you like and see what happens. don't understand why people make cooking complicated and potatoe anything is the easiest to make , why do you think they have children do it at thanksgiving.
