Mashed Potatos- a poll

[NYPinTA]

I was just curious about this. I have no idea why...

[AyuRocks]

None of the above.

Either plain.. or with sour cream, bacon, and cheese.

[eta_carinae]

I usually do butter on mashed (since they can get kinda dry). But I like the sour cream and chives idea!

[malachilenomade]

If I HAVE to chose one, then butter... but garlic can go on almost ANYTHING :D

[JadeScape]

butter or ranch dressing.....

[Judith]

Butter. And I like the skins mashed in.

[kechara420]

Actually, I prefer a little bit of potatoes with my gravy :lol ...

[BrowderChick]

Butter and gravy.

[Lord Loser]

you forgot the "Court of Public Opinion"... :P

[scrape_medic]

butter, salt and pepper, cheese, gravy, bacon and sausages....where was that option huh?

[AgentSun]

if it's MASHED then just gravy. i've never had butter on mashed potatoes. if it's a baked potato, then everything. butter, sour cream, chives, bacon.

[StephX]

butter and gravy

[Lord Loser]

butter, salt and pepper, cheese, gravy, bacon and sausages....where was that option huh?Don't you mean bangers, my dear?


But what are we talking about here... Real potatoes? Instant? Russets? Reds? Hmmmm? *taps foot impatiently*

[BrowderChick]

I dont count instant as potatoes. :yuck:

[JadedLegend3]

I usually put cheese and butter in them but that wasn't an option so I said butter. :)

Also, I like them from the box better than homemade. No lumps in my food thank you very much.

[kechara420]

What?!? You mean those little flake thingies aren't REAL POTATOES?!? :eek:

[malachilenomade]

The only thing better than mashed potatos are the potato pancakes you can make from the leftovers for breakfast the next morning!!! :drool:

[BrowderChick]

How about mixed with corn?

[BrowderChick]

The only thing better than mashed potatos are the potato pancakes you can make from the leftovers for breakfast the next morning!!! :drool:
Or fried mashed potato patties. :yes:

[scrape_medic]

Don't you mean bangers, my dear?You are learning the language LL...:lol

Yes I do mean bangers!

[Scaper_S]

Butter or butter and cheese in them and gravy on them

[AyuRocks]

Boxed mash potatoes are the work of the devil!



This thread makes me want mashed potatoes... but the cafe isn't serving them tonight :(

I remember when I lived in the dorms they used to serve mashed potatoes with chicken nuggets. And that was probably my favorite meal there. Looking back on it, I can't believe the crap I ate while I was there :yuck:

[scrape_medic]

but it's nice and soft and I've heard it tickles in all the right places... :lech:
ya mean scratches....

[Lord Loser]

only one way to find out... :ewink:

[JadedLegend3]

:lech:

[scrape_medic]

[Lord Loser]

[scrape_medic]

The kettle is on...;)

[NYPinTA]

Po-Tay-Tos! Real of course.

thank's a lot toots, 'ya went and made me hungry!

oops. :lol

[JadedLegend3]

Po-Tay-Tos!

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

[NYPinTA]

:rollin: Exactly!

[trinamick]

I put butter in the taters when I mash them. Cream too. THEN the gravy goes on top. :D No fake potatoes for me. :yuck: My aunt used to peel one potato and leave the skins on the sink and then serve us instant, thinking we couldn't tell the difference. I'd rather chew on my own arm than eat instant potatoes. :hork:

[AyuRocks]

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Dude.. I was gonna say that :pissed:

;)

[Lord Loser]

[BrowderChick]

mmmmmmmmmmm

[Kurt_eh]

thanks to the Lt. for that one

[BrowderChick]

but it's nice and soft and I've heard it tickles in all the right places... :lech:
Does it?

[Clarsax]

I usually go for gravy.

[vikingscaper]

Butter.....nope
Gravy....yuck
melted cheese and bacon.......I don't like to eat hamburger toppings in my potatoes
sour cream and chives........maybe on baked potatoes but not on mashed.

[who45]

I like milk gravy on mine.

[MotorWerk]

You lot have some disgusting habits...

[scrape_medic]

Actually I am a little confused about the butter option......

'Proper' mash, at least the way my mum taught me, has to be made with butter....

cook the spuds, drain off the water, add a little milk and a (generous) knob of butter and return to the heat till the butter melts; then mash!

[Alexxia]

Mmmm...starch...:drool:.

That's how I make mine as well, but then I might add a little more after it's on the plate. But during the holidays when I'm making it for a crowd, I put in loads of butter and real cream.

[Lord Loser]

hmmm...


actually I don't think there's a wrong way to eat mashed spuds...

it's all GOOOOOOOOD... :drool:

[DRD2001]

I noticed tuna isn't an option.

That's how you do it, but the topping is extra butter. I used to do that, but I never do it anymore.

I believe that is the way that my mom makes them and that is the reason why I don't add anything to them. They are too yummy to ruin.

[Lord Loser]

I noticed tuna isn't an option.I take that back, I guess there is a wrong way to eat mashed spuds

[StarsGoBlue]

That's how I make mine as well, but then I might add a little more after it's on the plate. But during the holidays when I'm making it for a crowd, I put in loads of butter and real cream.

that's how i've started making mashed sweet potatoes, too... real cream and butter and tiny minced green onions.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :love:

and then i use the rest of the cream to make pearl onions in sage cream sauce. dOOOOOd, so good.

[AyuRocks]

green onions... ack.

[StarsGoBlue]

:eh: how can you ack at green onions? how can there be proper chinese or japanese or thai food, without green onions? :rolleyes:

[JadedLegend3]

There is no such thing as proper Chinese food...I don't eat cat. Sorry dude.

[AyuRocks]

As if that isn't a stereotype that's been beat to death...

I can't eat chives or anything like that.. it grosses me out. I don't know why, it's not like they have much flavor.. must be a texture thing that they upset.

[StarsGoBlue]

well, you keep your mushrooms away from me, and i won't subject you to my green onions. ;)

:eh: and as for certain Other People: :fwap:

[AyuRocks]

Uck.. mushrooms.

[Alexxia]

I try to avoid eating fungus. :yuck:

[harveywhispers]

Uck...mashed potatos...

[JadedLegend3]

Only because it's true. I know for a fact that the Chinese place that was next to the video store I worked at in high school was shut down by the health dept for serving the rats they found in the dumpsters out back!

[SabaceanBabe]

I voted for sour cream and chives, but I actually like butter, sour cream, and chives. And salt. But just a little.

Now, if we were talking baked potatoes, that's a whole 'nother story.

[malachilenomade]

I noticed tuna isn't an option.

In a word:

eeeeeeeeeeewwwww :eek:

Or fried mashed potato patties. :yes:

Not sure I'd go with fried... too greasey... UNLESS you're cooking them with bacon grease... :drool:

Mushrooms are the work of the devil!

[AgentSun]

what do you like on scalloped potatoes?

[malachilenomade]

Nothing... they can stand alone :drool:

[NYPinTA]

what do you like on scalloped potatoes?

MMMMMMMMMM! I haven't had scalloped potatos in a long time!

[trinamick]

Other than the ham I put in them before cooked, nothing else should go in or on my 'scalped' potatoes.

[BaseLine]

There is no such thing as proper Chinese food...I don't eat cat. Sorry dude.

From what I've heard that's only in southern China (the area of Shanghai) and such dishes are very expensive. Beijing on the other hand got some great dishes that consists mostly of pork, beef and duck. I thought it was better than the 'westernized' Chinese food.

[JadedLegend3]

what do you like on scalloped potatoes?

Butter and cheese. Yummy! I haven't had those in a while. :)

[AyuRocks]

what do you like on scalloped potatoes?

To be perfectly honest.. they make me throw up. I have no idea why, but I can't stand the taste.

[malachilenomade]

Your other option is Tay-go-gi (sp) in Korea ;) Not cat... dog. But not just any dog... these are specially bred as livestock. Expensive, a delicacy...

[trinamick]

They are used on the reservation north of where I live too. Not as much now as in years past, but many of the older Indians still use them. One of the older Indians that my grandpa used to cowboy with would offer to cook for all the guys. He would wait until they had eaten their first bowl of soup and then say, "Dig a little deeper. More puppy in the bottom." :D (now the stock phrase at our dinner table)

[malachilenomade]

"Dig a little deeper. More puppy in the bottom." :D

:spew: I GOTTA remember that one!!! :roflmao:

[eta_carinae]

well, you keep your mushrooms away from me, and i won't subject you to my green onions. ;)

Since I've returned from Japan I've been craving shitake mushrooms. Soooooo good. And you can't beat the name!
