I just made the best darn mashed potatoes I think I've ever had in my life. 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.

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.

if you like yams, you can certainly make mashed sweet potatoes. Or sweet potato fries.

Certain potatoes make better mashed potatoes. It's a very subjective experience and based on availability. Since the moisture content is an aspect of mashed potatoes then drier potatoes ie slightly older potatoes are tricks usedby some to make mashed or even fries.

Old timers used to fry mashed potatoes and certain ethnic folks, like the Swedish, make these too.

To make excellent doughnuts REQUIRES unsalted mashed potatoes. That secret ingredient and cardamom is why Krispy Kream doughnuts taste so good. I would spoil the counselors at summer camp. Those young people worked from 6am-10:30 pm and then took a break in the break room.

So I would sometimes make a batch of homemade doughnuts which delighted them.


Once you have a yeast doughnut recipe you like, with the unsalted mashed potatoes added, then you of course can serve them with various glazes (like chcolate), dusted with coffectioner's sugar (with cornstarch as that makes it tastes creamy), or with a filling like fresh raspberry. Lemon filling that is freshly made is very popular with ladies.

The secret is "unsalted butter". It makes all the difference!

Yes, my wife insisted heavy cream instead of milk and unsalted butter. Yukon Gold are delicious.

A ricer will give you consisitency and even texture.

I WANT that Moravian recipe. The Moravian missionaries were among the kindest to Native Americans. That is not forgotten

Hawaiian bread will often have mashed potatoes in it to add sweetness.

Oh NOW THATS a freaking idea right there!

Never deal with dried flakes except co-workers at time lol but the truffle oil would be a great touch.

You talking about truffle oil in frying the yukon gold potatoes? or baking them?

I've made this recipe twice so far. It is very, very good!

Instead of milk, try cream cheese and sour cream.

Whipping cream instead of milk, or half-and-half also works.

Load them up like a baked potato.

If you're using garlic, roast it first.

I like Ketchup on mine, but I'm a freak.
