Yep, I wash the potato, cut it up in chunks with the skin still on, boil until soft, add butter and milk and mash by hand. I dont' season them, but do salt and pepper them when I plate them.
@MartinTheFirst I find adding them when I'm cooking the potatoes dilutes the enhancement of the salt and I end up putting more on when I eat them. Also allows others to season them to their liking.
I have made them home made before, and they were actually pretty amazing. they ended up tasting just like my moms.
I peeled and boiled the potatoes, added milk, salt and butter, and whipped until they were the texture I wanted. I happened to be making fried chicken as well and used the drippings to make an amazing gravy, that just so happened to also taste like my mother's.

yep best way bake the potatoes in their skins peel them and put them in a ricer bu baking them you arent adding any more moisture likr yiu do when boiling or steaming them
once they are riced in the bowl add cream and butter to fluff them up and salt and pepper to season simple but tasty

Yeah. Boil the potatoes with a couple garlic cloves then mash them together while warm. Then add cream (or milk+ butter) and some cheese. Cook the mixture a bit. If you want it to be smooth & stretchy put that in a blender. If you like it chunky & fluffy then don't. Garnish with parsley.
@SW-User Ooo you like garlic in yours too 🥰 Most times I dont add garlic but when I'm in the mood for a bit more rich experience I enjoy doing that. It's an interesting way you choose to add it together with the potatoes. Do you think there's a big difference in pressing raw garlic and boiling the garlic first?
SW-User
Well yeah there is. To me raw garlic is a bit too pungent but boiled is mild & nice @MartinTheFirst
Yes I do. Cut into small chunks, boil for 10 minutes, drain, add copious real butter, 2 pinches of salt, mash mash until there are no lumps. Sometimes I leave the peel on and mash, most times not. Love mash spuds with rissoles, peas and gravy. 😋
Yes. I steam. Remove the skin after cooling. I mashed then I used finest strainer so I could achieve finest texture. I added two kinds of milk..melted butter, salt and pepper to taste (white & black powdered pepper). I usually prepare it along with a steak.
yes. peel potatoes, cut into cubes, boil 20 minutes, drain pot of water, add butter, mix to melt it, add milk or sour cream, salt and pepper then mash with a potato masher
I want to. I want to make them like KFC's mashed potatoes. Or I may just cut up some potatoes, boil some potatoes, season them and eat them, like how my aunt does them.
Usually the basic, mashed with butter and a bit of milk. Sometimes in the summer add chives from my garden. I usually only make mashed potatoes when there is gravy
Well, damn. Have no idea what lingonberry jam is but that sounds rather incredible.
But yep. I even bust out the old school potato masher and add a generous helping of sour cream to the little bit of milk and embarrassing amount of butter to the bowl. It’s really creamy.
