The Perfect Mashed Potato?

Pink.

Hi chocolatepennyfarthing,

I use maris piper potatoes mashed with butter and a little milk and black pepper. These threads should help:

I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the suggestions together.

Sometimes we add some grated cheese and have cheesey mash, or sometimes some finely cut spring onion, or sometimes some bacon pieces.......sometimes all 3!!!

I do that too Pink, and if there's any fresh cream in the fridge I put a dash of that in instead of milk :cool:

i add swede or sweet potato or onions and make in bulk, freeze and just defrost and bake in the oven when i need it.

has anyone else added butternut squash to their mash? It's a sneaky way to get the kids to eat more veg and the mash ends up wonderfully creamy.:T

a sprinkle of herbs and a tablespoon of parmesan give mash a lovely flavour and perk them up just a wee bit

I don't know about adding things to mash but has anyone made it with an electric hand whisk, it's yummmmmyyyyyyyyyyy (specially with a great big dollop of butter, oops there goes the diet again!)

Tesco do a lovely pack of Fried Onion bits, it`s usually in the curry powder/foreign foods section, cooked in sunflower oil. They mix in well or make a nice topping with cheese to loads of dishes. I rarely use instant mash, and blend in any leftover veg when I do, but these fried onions make it better than the `real` thing. I find real potato mash done with a blender goes a bit too sticky though, no matter which spuds I use. It`s ok if you`re making soup, but if it`s for proper mashed potato - get the menfolk involved, get them doing the mashing! And if there are lumps, then it`s up to them to mash better next time. Adding cheese, milky braised leeks, any fresh herbs, any cooked turnip, carrot, kohlrabi, tomato, peppers, celery, celeriac, a spoonful of hot mustard or a few spoons of wholegrain mustard, some fried-up green cabbage leftovers, even a spoonful of curry powder. Mash is like bread or pasta, you can do anything with it, once you get someone to mash it!

I make mash in bulk using a electric whisk and its brilliant - butter (never marge) a little milk and seasoning then freeze in bun tins - then the lumps are hard I bag up and my own hm cheats mash ready to go in hand little portions!

Rooster variety potatoes( available at most supermarkets ) make the most amazing mash. good flavour and gorgeously creamy when you add a little ( or a lot in my case ) butter or cream.
