what is it about them? is it the carbohydrates? is it the reach creamy way they slosh around in the mouth?
all i know is, is that they're like ice cream to me. oh my god. delicious

you can actually make mash potatos fairly glorious by adding in heaps of flavours and spices. mix in like salt/pepper/chives/cream for the win

well i mean i mix just about anything into my mash potato. stuff most people would think is weird. but like i've mixed in steak spice, mustard seeds, all kinds of things. anything with flavour you can mix in.
experiment with whatever you have in your house and see what flavours you like and don't.
the basics would be like butter and salt

roast some small potato chunks in a seperate skillet and then toss em in there, along with some butter, chives, celery salt, black pepper, cilantro and they should be bomb

damn. good ideas. i think i'm pretty limited on what's in the house but i'll keep looking
i was going to do maybe clarified butter and some sour cream and also some minced garlic. not sure what i have for spices
i will prob try black pepper and no salt..

wehy the hell do they take SO long to become soft
the last two times i've tried to make potatoes i've gotten sick and thrown them up
and i'm sure it's because i undercook them but now i don't know how soft they are supposed to get. i keep stabbing em with a work and i want to make sure they are soft enough
maybe they take forever because i use so many, i just don't understand this!

less crowded pot=faster cook time also, cut them up smaller and they'll cook faster and more evenly

dont put any flacourings on them, just potatoes and salt. SO DELICIOUS! one of, if not, my favorite foods. had some tonight actually, I love having a massive bowl(upto 8 big potatoes) all to myself. and yeah, cut them up smaller, they cook better mashed potatoes

the key is to get it all mashed perfectly too, so it doesn't have any little chunks or bits throughout it. it should be like paste and completely mashed
