Plus you are eating frozen mashed potatoes. Blah.

Frozen mashed potatoes,spinach,fake bacon...Tanya PLEASE,I am always supporting you as an educator,as someone who eats healthy,as a seemingly all around nice person but sweetheart this is a line in the sand that I cannot step across!

not liking mashed potatos is right up there with not liking pasta or not liking bread.

any set of instructions that includes "remove large stems" has to have some value.

Sub in pancetta or prosciutto for the bacon!

Ditto what Mom said.

Not many mashed potato recipes suck.

Lots of Potatoes, boiled
A few of strips of bacon, cooked (keep fat)
Shallots a garlic (cooked in the bacon fat)
Butter
Hevy Cream
Sour Cream
Salt & Pepper

Put potatoes in a large bowl. Add other stuff. Mash to your heart's content. Serve.

That is THE mased potato recipe.

I love stirring things up

A student used this in her recipe book for her Home Ec class.

I don't know if it is good or not and wouldn't eat it anyway

Mashed Potatoes

Red New Potatoes scrubbed well and boiled until tender remove some of the skin under cold water if desired. Mash with Old School potato masher unless you are being snooty then use an electric mixer.

Butter-at least one stick softened(REAL butter)
Cream-(REAL too)
Salt and Pepper

Mash or Whip together until your favorite consistency...add

Gravy-made from fried chicken grease and add the sludge from the bottom of the pan,flour and stir well while adding milk or chicken broth!

literally and figuratively.

I had some smashed potatoes mixed with chives, sour cream and cheddar before and that wasn't too terrible.

I just can't get past the texture of mashed potatoes

...yet you testify to the wonderfulness of tofu......go figure!!

only firm tofu that has been fried or grilled

I have never said tofu from the package was worth eating

My youngest daughter would never eat REAL potatoes except as fries because she didn't like the texture.I bought smoother potatoes and then whipped them smooth with the mixer and now she thinks they are alright.We almost always add sour cream and cheese when she is home..almost like twice baked,and let extra cheese on top bubble.

Tofu straight from the package, sliced into cubes and served with a blended ketchup-mayonaise-shoyu dipping sauce. Good eating.

^^^...you are a sick, twisted person...

what ? noone posted that pic of the guy saying po-ta-toes? Texagers are off the ball tonight.

Who hates mashed potatoes?

I don't hate mashed potatoes, but I do think they are overrated.

Because I can.

I regularly search for TexAgs recommendations.

All mashed potatoes need are butter, a splash of milk, and a bit of Knorr chicken bouillon.

Pioneer woman recipe for mashed potatoes ftw
Try it and you'll never look back

I'm a big fan of this one. Be sure to use prepared horseradish and not horseradish sauce.
