How do you have your mashed potatoes?
And I'm not talking what utensils you use, Neo.
I love mashed potato, but I love it even more with a little something extra. Our go-to spice is nutmeg, and mashing in a good dose of nutmeg (just taste it a little to see how much you like) makes it all that much better. I also like cheesey mashed potato, although I've yet to really get it right like my parents can.
So, do you ever add anything to your mashed potatoes?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Gravy is the classic. Cheese is good. A little garlic is also a nice change-up. You can put all types of stuff in 'em.
In the past I've put diced onion, corn, peas, diced ham chunks, etc. Sometimes I leave some of the skin on them.
Cream, tons of butter. I put cheese on them sometimes. And sometimes gravy. And sometimes ketchup.
I loveee manchego cheese garlic mashed potatoes.
I usually boil my potatoes in chicken broth (made from chicken boullion - the powdered stuff you can make broth with, but you can control the flavor you know?), and then I'll mash them with some milk, garlic, butter & manchego cheese if I happen to find it. Otherwise, I'll mash it like normal with the 1st 3 ingredients & maybe throw some sour cream & cheese on top.
Otherwise, if I'm making potato tacos (or "taquitos" whatever), I'll chop up some roma tomatoes and mash them in with the potatoes for the filling and then yeah. Yummy Yummy.
Gravy maybe. But nothing compares to good ol' plain mashed potatoes with nothing but milk and a dollop o' butter.
Egg, milk, butter (well usually disgusting margarine that my mom buys but I'd rather have butter).
We used real garlic butter a few times though
I really like garlic

I hate gravy, and I do it passionately too.
With either butter or gravy. Not picky!
I have them creamed with four peas on the side.
Sharky asks if that's a quote from The Secretary?
It surely is. Good man!
i eat my mashed potatoes with whatever is appropriate for the accompanying meat
i.e. butter/salt/pepper if no gravy, gravy if there's gravy
Mashed sweet potatoes, squash puree, etc....delicious!
