I cannot tolerate mashed potato. I'm sorry, shout at me all you wish.
Just, for me, the texture of the mash is allll wrong. it's akin to eating baby food. It's all.. mushy and just ugh! I gag if I eat too much mashed potato.
But, for me, the best ones are either roasted or french fried. Either are my favourite.
Mashed potatoes are only good if they have some lumps.
The hell they are! The secret is to not add too much milk/butter so they still have some stiffness to them and aren't just slop.
It's funny how much we all seem to disagree over food. I'm surprised that any of us get to eat out with anyone.
I added too much milk once. It was a bad time and nobody enjoyed dinner that evening. :(Quote:

You can't have too much butter in potatoes. You should be careful with milk, though. Add just a splash or two at a time. But if they have some lumps, they're waaaay better.
Mmm, potato milkshake!
Yeah, ballsing up recipes sucks; especially when it's something that's pretty easy normally! I was making pasta sauce at a friend's house recently and I asked for some soy milk, which they handed to me. It was only as I was pouring it into the rest of the mixture that I realized that they had handed me vanilla flavoured milk :roll2
It's cool though, I rescued it; I just had to envisage Gordon Ramsay yelling at everyone ^_^
you just need to find that one person who shares most of your tastes (and is not so overly critical of your tastes that they can't allow themselves to be in the same room as you when eating).Quote:

I know, I don't always eat alone! I was just trying to imagine if people commented during meals the way that they seem to post about food :D
What are your feelings on stuffed potatoes?

skins are the BEST
I like the potato skins appetizer dish with the cheese and the sour cream and the bacon, but I don't like baked potatoes and I don't like skins in my mashed potatoes.
