How do you make your mashed potatoes?
Milk, butter, salt, pepper, sour cream, thinly sliced scallions.
>>7056212
boil mash add cream butter and a shit ton of garlic and some salt n pepper to taste top with bacon cheese n chives
>>7056212
Peel 'em, and use a mandoline to slice them super quick. They're all the same thickness so they cook evenly. Bring 'em to a boil in salted water. Let them simmer until tender. Drain and set aside. In a pot, melt butter, and add minced garlic and black pepper until fragrant -- don't burn the garlic or butter! Use a ricer to press the potatoes into the pot. Add a touch more salt to taste, stir and serve.

Forgot the cream. Just a splash.
>>7056212
Boil, strain and return to the heat to evaporate any remaining liquid.
Put through a mouli/ricer and add a fuck tonne of butter whilst stirring over low heat. Season heavily and add any flavorings you'd like. I normally just stick to roasted garlic.
Boil taters until soft in salted water.
Drain
Mash
While mashing, add tablespoon and a half of butter, tablespoon and a half of mayo, milk to preferred texture, salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh ground pepper on top with brown gravy. Cheese and fried garlic and onion pieces are wonderful additions on occasion. All measurements are very approximate

>>7056341
Oh boy, I love bacon-flavored pieces.
I just add salt, milk(or cream) and butter. It's bland on it's own, but I always eat it with stews/sarma/stuffed peppers so it doesn't need any other seasoning.
who here /lumpymash/?
boil up a bunch of potatoes in salted water
press through one of these bad boys over an embarrassing amount of butter
beat the tar out of them with a wooden spoon
if making pommes puree, press through a tamis
if making nan's mash, just fucking season it and maybe add milk or cream if you want it looser
I hated mashed potato as a child because my mother would just boil potatos and mash them, put a huge fucking mound on my plate and make me eat it or I got no dessert
>>7057826
It's the only way to do it. Get that watery bullshit out of here.
Peel 50/50 mix of russets and yukon gold potatoes
Boil until tender
Drain, then put back in the pot and let them steam dry
Pass through ricer
Beat in butter, cream, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
>>7057845
My mum would make mash with semi-skimmed milk and not enough butter. I never realised how glorious mashed potatoes could be until I was old enough to make my own.
>>7057841

You would be surprised how many people skip that step!
has to be yukon gold potatoes

Lots of salt and enough butter to turn that shit white with a splash of warm milk at the end. Also lumpy mashed potatoes are best.

wtf are you on about mate explain yourself inb4 fad diet or som bullshit
>>7058155
thats how you make glue
boil, peel, smash with a fork and add in cream.
so fucking good.
Egg yolk, cream, sour cream, parsley, salt, pepper, butter. Thick rich delicious.
Egg yolk, butter, salt, pepper, milk, nutmeg; sometimes garlic, onion and/or carrots.
>>7058221
just like good Carbonara then....
>there are people on /ck/ that don't pass their potatoes through a drum sieve
>>7056212
1. Peel potatoes (RUSSETS)
2. Boil shitloads of H2O after adding potatoes
3. DO NOT OVERCOOK
4. Drain
5. Use a masher
6. Add butter (or duck fat, if you have it)
7. Add a little splash of half-and-half
8. Mash
9. Add a little salt and pepper
10. Add a little dill weed (a potato's best friend)
11. Put a clean dishtowel over the pot if you have to hold them before serving, this will keep moisture from condensing and fucking things up.
12. EAT.
>>7058155
And interesting take on the carbonara meme. Thanks for you contribution!
>>7058152
Who the fuck is this guy and why does he post in every thread?
I like to warm the milk for my mash with some butter, a shallot, garlic, peppercorns and a bay leaf. Strain them out obviously.
It just makes plain mash slightly more robust without actually adding toppings or mixing chunks of things through.
>>7056212
roughly dice red-skinned potatoes, DO NOT PEEL THEM, boil.
when soft but not falling apart mash. incorporate to taste cheese like pecorino, butter/margarine, spices if you want- particularly nutmeg is a nice one, fresh dill can often give it a nice kick.
the mash in your picture looks awful.
>Boiling potatoes for mash
Not even once
>Take baking potato, rub with oil and salt
>Bake until soft throughout with crispy skin, perhaps 90 minutes
>Remove from oven, allow to cool until can be handled
>Cut in half and scoop out potato filling
>Reserve skins
>Mash the potato with salt, white pepper, butter and a splash of cream
You get fluffy mash as well as some nice potato skins left over.
>>7060132
What's wrong with boiled potatoes?
>>7060150
nothing.
theyre an idiot.
baking the potatoes actually makes it too pasty if you were to then try combine with other stuff / mash.
I steam potatoes (peeled because fuck you, that's why) and garlic until just tender, then pass through a ricer and whip the results with thick cream (it's thick like sour cream, but not sour).
Salt to taste and stir in lots of chopped parsley.
You guys are boring.
Prepare the mash with whatever potato, milk and some sour cream. Then add mayonnaise, ranch dressing, a little butter, and season with garlic salt.

I also love to use dill if I'm going to be eating them with fish.

Anything more than salt and butter is a waste imo. good mash with medium rare steak and some nice jus: gg
>>7060316
this shit
Whole red potatoes, skin on.
Roast a bunch of garlic, proportional to how many potatoes you have
Boil until ready
Mix in 1/3rd cup whipping cream, 1/4th cup butter, sour cream (however much you want) and the garlic
Mash Mash Mash!
Add whatever you want to it to taste, a lot of people like chives to go with the garlic.
Quick question, I usually make these when I have a lot of people over/bring food to my parents house for a dinner. But if I were to make them just for myself and want to freeze extras, should I do that before adding the milk/butter or after? Which will help it freeze and thaw best?
>>7060511
add the butter, not the milk.

It's better that the horrible shitty powder ones, and even better than if you add milk when mashing

Dude, she looks like she'd fuck your dick right off.
Those of you who say they do not peel their potatoes and boil them whole are using the superior technique. Also, a starchy (as opposed to waxy) potato like a russet makes a superior mash. What happens when you cut or peel potatoes before boiling is that much free starches, the flavorful potatoey essence is lost in the water, and too much water ends up in the potato, giving you bland, watery crap. Peel or don't after boiling, but the next step is to add the fat. Butter, grease, whatever your thing. All those free starches you saved by not washing them away in the pot bind very easily at this stage with fats when you mash, which in turn helps the milk or cream incorporate better in the next step. Ever refrigerate your leftovers and water has separated out? This is why. You did it poorly. After those steps, you can add whatever else: cheese, random thingers. Lastly, you salt and pepper to taste because all the other shit will have affected the amount. You're welcome, faggots.
>>7060900
>>7060932
I was in agreement with you but this lass is too much for me.
>>7060928
> It must curdle.
the starch in the potatoes is gonna stabilise the mixture and there's hardly enough egg in mayo to really make a difference anyway if you do overheat it.
>>7060928
It doesn't. Tastes good and helps the texture
>>7060937

Peel the potatoes, cook them for 30 minutes, start mashing them, add milk until the consistency is right, add a spoonful of butter, add salt and pepper. I don't really like nutmeg to my mashed potatoes because I don't like the taste.

It is really simple, but I have found that I don't really need anything other than that to make my mashed potatoes enjoyable. They were a staple of my Midwestern diet growing up, so as long as I have red meat and gravy served with it, I am quite satisfied.
>>7061300
I just boil the bastards until fork ready then mash them with some butter, black pepper, salt and sour cream. It's not that complicated nor does it take some some stupid ass five star faggotry.
>>7061287
is this a meme
>>7061312
no, yes, and maybe
If you don't have a potato masher handy use the bottom of a coke bottle, it works wonders.
