Mashed Potato,how do you like it and what with ?

[Tricky Dicky]

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 !

Mashed potato sandwich, made with crusty bread and lashings of black pepper. Food of the gods

Exactly this. If there's any left over, fry it up next day and add brown sauce.

Add chopped chives to the spuds and you've got a winner

Anyone use a potato ricer? It's great for making sure there are no lumps.

I wouldn't make mash without putting it through a ricer

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...

As part of a shepherds or cheese and potato pie

Best

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.

Proper mash needs some butter and mixed with double cream. Goes nice with a proper pie and gravy on

+1 and goes with all sorts, steak/lamb chops and some veg or liver & bacon or with some left over cold meat the list can go on!!

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

With butter and white pepper.

Heston Blumenthal would be impressed.

Mashed sweet potato, nothing else, doesn't need it.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

No lumps, lots of butter, nice and creamy.
