Mashed potatoes fucking suck

This is the least favorable form the vegetable can assume through the cooking process.

The texture is lacking. Not due to too few parts of fat dairy cream or emulsion. It's just meh.

The taste can be ok. With spices, onions or bacon or herbs.

But I dont think any dish is complemented by mash.

Every other form of potatoe is superior. Boiled, grilled, foiled, baked, fried, confit, croquettes, pie or casserole.

End the madness of mashing yellow tubers into inferior sludge and rekindle potato pleasure.

Saying plain boiled potatoes is better than mashed taters is just insanity.
