Mama Geek Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I was reading Heather's Thanksgiving thread when I realized how many different ways people make mashed potatoes. So what do you put in yours? I usually put in milk, butter, salt and pepper. I started making mashed cauliflower a year ago and now sometimes I will make mix of mashed cauliflower and mashed potatoes with cheese, milk, butter salt and pepper.

DawnM Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't make mashed potatoes, DH does. He is constantly finding some new recipe from America's Test Kitchen to try for mashed potatoes, so whatever and however he chooses to make them is FINE with me. I hate making mashed potatoes! Sometimes he puts in just butter and salt. Other times he has varied with sour cream or cream cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Butter, chicken stock, salt and pepper. We used to use milk but switched to chicken stock due to a dairy allergy. As it turns out, I prefer the chicken stock to milk. When ds had the dairy allergy we also used olive oil instead of butter. Now that the allergy is gone the butter has returned.

marbel Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just a little milk, sour cream, cream cheese. I tried using olive oil once and everyone hated them. Maybe I just used too much. I would love to add vegetables - shredded kale sounds awesome to me - but I know that would never fly around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Oh we're boring mashed potato people. We just use margarine and milk. Each person uses salt and pepper to their own taste. I'm the only one who puts a dollop of sour cream in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Pots thru a ricer for zero lumps, butter to coat the startch molecules, then heavy cream. Restaurant style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Butter and sour cream. I leave a little cooking water in them because I never have milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I boil the potatoes with a few cloves of garlic, then I whip with butter, a dollop of plain yogurt, and enough milk to make them creamy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I put a little bit of milk, butter, a bunch of cream cheese, with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 didnt click because we're on so many food restrictions - a little soy milk, a little (some other milk) and some broth and some olive oil or home-made vegan butter . . . and salt, but not pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingiguana Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I leave the skins in. I like the lumps. Super smooth mashed potatoes kind of gross me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I usually spoon in some Greek yogurt along with cream, butter,salt&pepper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 For holidays/fancy, we use a ricer and add butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and a little garlic salt. Depending on the consistency, we might add a little milk. For everyday, mash with milk, butter, and a little salt. I add pepper to mine at the table. The rest of the family can add more salt or pepper at the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 No garlic listed? Blasphemy to this Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 LOL SeaConquest, I checked off "other" because I always put garlic salt in my potatoes along with milk, butter and cheddar cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmiraGulch Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Mine will probably kill a person, so I don't eat them too often, but they're goooood!

Annie G Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I boil the potatoes with a few cloves of garlic, then I whip with butter, a dollop of plain yogurt, and enough milk to make them creamy. I love garlic mashed potatoes but never thought to boil the potatoes with some garlic. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
