Mashed potatoes

[Ms_Ann]

I cannot stand mashed potatoes. The texture alone, yuck.

How about oysters?

Someone said to me today that boxed mashed potatoes taste as good as real mashed potatoes. It made me a little sad.

Not in this Universe! Not if you have any idea how to make the real thing.

8-10 lbs red potatoes (you can use russets)
1 lb real butter
1/2 gal milk (+/- to the consistency you like)
salt to taste

Use your Mixer (detached from base) to whip the ever lovin' out of them. The more air you whip in the more fluffy they are.

It's da bomb at Thanksgiving/Christmas family meals

I wash my face with mashed potatoes every night. At 9:00pm.

Oh, I forgot. Do NOT peel them. The skins add great flavor and all of the vitamins are just under the skin. I know what you are thinking, "Don't peel them?" Yep. Try it. You will never go back. And it is one hell of a lot less work.

People who make mashed potatoes with yukons instead of russet are only slightly better than people that use powdered potatoes.

Russets are for baking and hash browns.

Everyone wants to know how I make my mashed potatoes. I can't tell em because I do not measure shit.

What I do not do is use milk/cream.

Boil well. Till they fall apart when forked. Double the butter. Equal amount sour cream. 50/50 garlic salt/ sea salt. White pepper.

I carry a spoon with me at all times for that very reason.

Mashed potatoes need the structure of russets. Youkons don't have the structure that is needed for a real mash. Creamy and no potato lump is mearly a potato puree. I love Youkons. Just not for mashed potatoes.

I love Bobby! I've used many of his recipes. However, come pure mash, I am hoping he'd use russets. It's just science.

Allie ate everything. It's freezing. There's a lot of stars. I didn't forget to take the trash out.
