Hey /ck/, can anyone give me a good recipe for mashed potatoes?
>>7443585
boil potatoes
run through a ricer or sieve
add any of the following: butter, cream, sour cream, cheese, herbs, etc
season to taste. White pepper goes better with potatoes than black pepper though.
Its also important not to over/undercook the potatoes, over work the potatoes, and use starchy not waxy potatoes. You should also at least be salting your water that you boil them in. You can also flavor this water or use broth/stock to add flavor to the potatoes as they absorb both the water and flavors in it.
Seriously, nigger?
>cube the potatoes
>put them in a pot with salty water
>boil them
>drain when thickest cubes are soft
>put them back in same pot
>lower heat to low
>mash them how you like
>add milk and butter to get desired consistency
>salt and pepper to taste
It's literally just "do it how you like it"
Now fuck off.

Clearly he is. He will probably say to put them in a food processor until they are nice and gummy

You're fucking retarded. This is a cooking board and op asked how to make mashed potatoes.
>>7443758
i think people know that but what does op want them to do on the cooknig board? make off topic posts about UFC and spam xD so funnay /sp/ memes when its likely they don't even care. Just wait long enough and /sp/ lurkers might eventually flood in and start shitposting but until then enjoy the recipes.

you may have brain damage, just like ufc fighters will eventually have
potatoes, yellow-fleshed type, 500g/1lb
garlic, 8 cloves
cultured cream, 250ml/1cup
>or double-heavy/heavy-whipping cream if cultured cream is not available
parsley, fresh, chopped finely, a handful
>or a heavy pinch or two of good quality dried
salt, to taste
Wash and peel (or don't) the potatoes.
Peel the garlic.
Cut the potato into smallerish pieces.
Steam the garlic and potato until the largest piece is fork tender.
Run through a ricer.
Whip with cultured cream and parsley.
Allow to sit ten minutes or so for the potato starches to hydrate with the cream and thicken.
Salt to taste and serve.
Best. Mash. Ever.
Protip:
Dont cut the potato small because if you do your mash ends up Gluey.
