I love mash potato with liver and onions and cabbage. With toad in the hole.

I make it with a little milk and supermarket spread.

Sometimes I have a bowl of mash potato with an onion gravy.

Sausages and onion gravy - homemade, of course. The mash needs to be made smooth with lots of butter and cream. With real failure I'm not supposed to eat potato at all, so my consultant would tell me off. I'm not sure a cardiac doctor would be too happy either !

After the potatoes have been strained, put them back in the pot and with a sharp knife, dice. Add milk and butter (not spread, real butter). Mash with masher. Add mustard and creme de Brie, whisk vigorously with a fork for amazing mash. Serve with onion gravy, venison sausages and peas.

Agree with all this except as a carnivore I can't agree with peas, just add another sausage... :thumbsup:

Lacking a masher or ricer, I once experimented with other kitchen equipment. I ended up having some success with an unplugged stick blender but it was still rather lumpy. "Why not blend it?" I thought. It certainly rid the mash of lumps but little did I know it had broken down the starch molecules and created something akin to wallpaper paste.

Terrible mash but a lesson in molecular gastronomy.

Sausage's or pie. Pissing with cream and butter, served with onion gravy. Absolutely no lumps.

Heston Blumenthal would be impressed.
