    Mmm - having pork/apple sausages, caramelized onions in gravy, peas and wholegrain mustard mash tonight. I have a tendency to sometimes undercook potatoes for mash so need to watch that, but once I've drained them I add real butter and splosh of milk and then pound them to smithereens. Of course if I couldn't be bothered to do it properly, I'd just call 'em 'crushed potatoes' a la wine bar ;)
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.
  • Thanks everyone :beer:, I'm going to print the whole thread out and attempt mash tomorrow night. Will definitely be getting myself a potato ricer, as they sound great!

    I'll let you know how I get on.

    Its nice to be important but more important to be nice!

    Something I meant to add & which I don't think was mentioned is using warmed milk rather than cold seems to make the texture of mash smoother when using a normal masher.

    I always save any vegetable water left over fom boiling or steaming and use to mash my potatoes to save on using butter or milk and its more of a healthy option.
