Ya'll got any special mashed potato recipes you wanna share? I don't peel the potatoes - I like the added texture when they are mashed and sometimes add chopped green chili. Quoting: **Sloane** And I'm lazy so I just throw the garlic cloves into boil with the potatoes. But I can imagine sautéing the garlic in a separate pan as someone posted, would be much better! Cooking thread! Who aside from young military men, peels potatoes? All the nutrients are in the skins...the rest is starch. My mother |

I like them both ways, but agree that the skin is where the nutrients are. |

Ya'll got any special mashed potato recipes you wanna share? Standard mashed potato recipe, you know, peel and chop those bad boys into quarters and then put in a pot of salted water, let them boil until nice and soft. Quoting: C. M. M. I took a sauce pan and threw in some fresh garlic all chopped up and sauteed it a bit before adding pure amish roll butter and milk. Let that melt down nice, stir a bit, then pour into the taters while I was mashing them in the drained pot. Made a homemade gravy from frying up a few pieces of bacon and then adding flour and milk to the grease to top the potatoes with. Little dash of salt and pepper and I swear they were so good I could have died happy right there. Nice! Thanks for the recipe!From Huntington Beach Ca! |

Ya'll got any special mashed potato recipes you wanna share? Like another poster mentioned...Yukon gold potatoes make the best mashed Russet comes out too dry and chunky. Red potatoes too wet and runny We add butter, half/half or light cream But our secret ingredient is cream cheese and a tbsp of mayo |

Ya'll got any special mashed potato recipes you wanna share? I always use evaporated milk in my mashed potatoes instead of regular milk. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77779818 this! and the cream cheese. Evaporated milk is seriously underrated! I like to use a little heavy cream in my potatoes and smash it up with salt and freshly ground pepper. |

My mother I actually prefer the skins but I was cooking for myself and a couple roommates so I wanted to just go for what I thought everyone would enjoy. Great point about the nutrients though. |
