Mashed Spuds

Mammanabammana

Nommy restauranty smooth mashed potatoes;

Peel and steam, rather than boil, your potatoes (if you want, throw a few cloves of unpeeled garlic in with the spuds) and just as they're cooked, heat your milk and butter
Empty the pot, dump the potatoes into it and mash them. If using the garlic, squeeze the paper so the soft cooked garlic oozes out of them into the spuds.
Now the secret...get rid of the masher. Pour in your milk and butter and whatever else you're adding - salt, herbs, grated cheese, natural yogurt, spring onions etc. Put the pot back onto a medium heat, use a wooden spoon and get stuck in to stir the potatoes into a silky, thick, lump free texture. The warm pot gets rid of any excess moisture and glosses them up magnificently. At this point, you may drool.

If there are any left over, a thin layer of mashed potato spread in the middle of a toasted ham and cheese sandwich later or the next day is delish.

But there won't be any left over.

Beans and mashed potato, mashed up together, or my personal favourite, mashed potato, peas and a load of gravy all mashed together = heaven!

Spud Police.

Unacceptable & just downright disgusting. Thats like something a paedophile would say.

I mean i said i liked mashed spuds, beans & sausages but the idea of mashing the beans into the spuds is kind of sickening.

Spud license - REVOKED

People who let baked beans and mashed potato mate are creeps. That's inter species meddling that nature just didn't intend - a human created folly with far reaching and unpredictable outcomes.

I'd advocate that people who put baked beans on mash should be put on the sex offenders register or something akin to it.

Chuck!!!!!

I thought I knew you better!!!!!

Shame on you, mash and beans are one heavenly combination.

If you are creaming the spuds with milk, heat the milk up first...somehow it helps with the process by bringing the milk closer to the temperature of the spuds.
