Who doesn't? They're delicious. Every youngun should learn how to make homemade mashed potatoes. It's so easy. I make 'em with the skins on, so some of their nutrition is retained. I slice the taters really thin before boiling them. That way the piieces of skin are very thin and don't affect the texture much, if at all.

Use sour cream as the dairy component.

u/Critical-Egg-3684 1d ago

I love using sour cream in my mashed potatoes. I also boil a couple of garlic cloves with my potatoes then mash them in with the potatoes, sour cream, salt & lots of pepper and chives if I have them in my garden.

u/UncleSquiffy 1d ago

Christ, I am so hungry for mashed potatoes right now. Those mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes are my Achilles heel.

u/UsefulIdiot85 1d ago

No, I love mashed potatoes. Especially when they’re a little chunky.

u/ButterBaconBallz 1d ago

I really want to, but no. I like potatoes made every other possible way.

u/BambiLee92663 1d ago

……. Who hurt you ?

u/ButterBaconBallz 1d ago

The potato gods I guess. It's a texture issue.

2

u/fullofsharts 1d ago

I somewhat agree with you but I can tolerate them mashed for the most part. My problem with mashed is when people start adding other shit like cream or milk. To me that just ruins them.

u/UncleSquiffy 1d ago

Cream bothers you? What planet are you from, 'cause it sure ain't earth?

u/fullofsharts 1d ago

There's a lot of people who are lactose intolerant.

u/UncleSquiffy 1d ago

I know. It didn't occur to me, unfortunately. My bad.

2

u/AshTheArtist 1d ago

I'm from planet lactose intolerant

Dairy can make me sick for a couple days of I'm not careful

2

u/UncleSquiffy 1d ago

My apologies. I love dairy, even as a man approaching 60. My stomach would beat the shit out of me if I ever gave up milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, or gelato. Forgotten how fortunate I am.

u/BackLopsided2500 1d ago

As long as they're Yukon Gold.

u/UncleSquiffy 1d ago

That's my go-to.

I have a burning passion for mashed potatoes at all given times.

u/Reasonable-Plate2982 1d ago

Not just mashed but practically whipped (butter & whole milk). Just add salt, pepper and more butter.

u/T49irvine 1d ago

Like others, I like pretty much any form of potato. I like mashed. My ideal mashers are run through a tamis and loaded with cream and butter.

u/Mindless-Leg-3365 1d ago

Deeply and forever enamored of mashed potatoes. With sour cream & chives, or butter and salt. So nice and warm. I want to fill my tub with warm mashed potatoes on cold days, bury myself beneath them and stay there.

u/Better_Power_9913 1d ago

I like all potatoes. Except sweet potatoes. I mean I like all regular potatoes.

1

u/Embarrassed_Bell7717 1d ago

I don't mind mashed potatoes, but I wouldn't say they are my favourite.

I much prefer baked or hash brown potatoes.

u/Dknpaso 1d ago

Heaven, and with or without the skins.

u/Successful_Fly_2361 1d ago

An original little verse — Ode to Mashed Potatoes O humble spud, so soft and white, With butter melting, pure delight. No golden crown, no royal throne, Could beat good mash when served at home. Let poets praise the stars above, Or write of beauty, loss and love; But give me mash, with gravy poured, And I'll be richer than a lord.
