How do you make mashed potatoes??

I did make my own and taste yuck!!!! not smooth yet :( lol :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

Can you tell me how do that so I can do it next time when I want to make again.


I am lousy make mashed potatoes :lol: :giggle: :lol:
 
HECK it is soo easy!!!


I peel (sometimes I don't on red potatoes), cut them up in quarters and boil them for like 1/2 hr to 45 min (still it is soft and easy to mash)

Then use masher or use kitchen aid mixer (any other mixer will work) whip them up with some milk and butter...just use your judegment how much you want to put them in. one time DHB65 put too much milk and poor potatoes was runny! YUCK! He said I DO it next time! :giggle:

Did you put a dash of salt and black pepper in it? I add them in my mashed potatoes while I mash them. I pour a little milk in it at a time until it is just right.

Salt and black pepper will help the mashed potatoes to taste better. Sometimes I don't add the black pepper but a little of salt is a must for me to make the mashed potatoes to have a good taste.
 
huh...It really very easy, I love it with real potatoes mash. other one is powder to add a hot water, it taste really nasty

Okay when I make again and will try that one Thanks :D
 
I lived with my Aunty for one year, and I was surprised to watch her add a RAW EGGin mashed potatoes instead of tablespoon of butter and little milk, I tried it and it was delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I follow her tradition.

Haha, u arent only one who fked up to make mashed potatoes or anything food... I did, my brain was dead and I put too much milk on egg (I was planning to make egg scramble), end up, too much milk/liquid on pan, so I threw away and order food, haha...
 
another secret is to use evaported milk instead of regular milk to make creamy mashed potatoes.. or if u want flavored mashed potatoes.. you can add chicken broth or beef broth to it.. yummy.... :)

just use butter.. add salt, and black pepper.. can be any milk.. evaported milk or regular milk with abit of chicken broth or beef broth.. then MASH!!!! make it smooth... and serve warmly! :)
 
I talked my mom about mashed potatoes and she said little milk, little butter, and salt :lol:

I told her that I did little milk and butter but not work ! arghh will try go with salt lol


oh really SmileyGin ? instersting to me new to me lol :lol:
 
Peel potatoes, quarter cut them and put in salted water and boil until fork can go thru, but not too soft. Because if you boil the potatoes too long, the taste of potato is less. Throw away boiled water. Warm up milk. put into bowl of potatoes 2 to 3 tablespoons real butter, a little milk, salt and pepper and mash it. Add only enough milk to the potato mix not to make it too watery, mashing at the same time. Taste the mashed potato as you make it to have it taste the way you want it to taste.
 
Okay Thanks everyone :) .. next time if I do it again to make mashed potatoes then will do that same as everyone said :) .. I havent make my own mashed potatoes for long time it should be my 3 rd times arghh lol have to keep patraic (spelling sorry my bad spelling lol :lol: )
 
I love homemade mashed poatoes.

Just slice about 5-6 potatoes, depends on how much can serves then rinse it out so well and start boil (add salt and pepper) for 30 min then drain and get mixer, also add mayo and milk in it then finally enjoy to eat. :D
 
I love homemade mashed potatoes... all my life.... mmmhhh

Just peeling potatoes and then put them in steamer with little water until they are tender... sprinkle salt and pepper, butter and milk and mash them...

I compared the taste between boiled potatoes with salt water and steamer... Use steamer is taste better than full boiled salt water.
 
School cafeteria is eek... They added warm water with powder to make mashed potatoes, also put too much salt and pepper.
 
My husband is a chef, he always use whipped cream (half and half) He used them a lil... add butter, kosher salt and pepper. Ohhh it was thick and delicious.

But I usually add cream cheese in it, a lil milk, maybe a big spoonful of sour cream, kosher salt and pepper, its pretty thick and YUMMY!!!!

;)
