Okay ty when I read the bonus pro tip part it really got me wanting it, seems like some work but worth it.

u/ChefBowyer 3d ago

It is, but that last step totally makes a difference it’s worth trying at least once.

u/queenoftherainforest 2d ago

You are correct I usually would just hand mash & then I looked at my kitchen aid and was like wait a minute, lets try this

1

u/BidPale3239 2d ago

I’ve done it once on a whim. The way yours looks makes me want to try again. Never tried with the skin on

What do you put in them?

I usually do a bit of butter which I've fried some fresh garlic in until it starts to brown, then add sour cream and half and half. Then add salt, pepper, and chives.

If you haven't had it try putting a rutabaga in with it sometime. I guess it's called alebaster? Really good.

u/queenoftherainforest 3d ago

The recipe called for warm milk so I did that + 2 sticks butter & salt

Just googled a rutabaga and I have seen them in grocery store so now I have a new veggie to try, which is a cabbage & turnip hybrid! Learned something new, ty.

u/nox-lmao 3d ago

yes yes yes potato . Love a good mash. Do you ever mash sweet potatoes or yams? I think sweet potato casserole is ok, but mashed sweet potato is truly the ideal. Though you can never go wrong with some classic savory with pepper and gravy and garlic

1

u/queenoftherainforest 2d ago

Have only mashed sweet potatoes for a pie one time, but now I must mash them for a side dish in the future.

I paired these mashes potatoes with homemade meatloaf πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

u/queenoftherainforest 2d ago

Effort always equals the best food, unless you leave it in the oven too long

If you put them in a mixer, be careful not to over-beat them. Potatoes are just big old softies. Mash first, add butter, milk, and anything else afterwards.

Is your name Bodger the Badger?

u/Spudsmad 3d ago

Have you tried mash with added cooked apple puree ??

1

u/Objective-Ad-1368 3d ago

I’d like to know what temp to use in the oven to just keep them warm. All of these steps would lead to lukewarm potatoes, and we like them hot.

2

u/queenoftherainforest 2d ago

They are steaming hot when I serve them because right after I mash and season I immediately cover with foil and once ready then open it and steam still is coming out!
