naw I'm with sheriff. I'm never mad if I can eat mashed potatoes but they are so far from "essential" or something I would seek out
I’ve had them every way including this and they’re still just fine. I think it’s a texture thing more than anything that will always make them just okay to me.
Mashed potatoes I made Monday called for whole cloves of garlic to be boiled then mashed with the potatoes, that was good
I love all potatoes, they’re my favorite food. But I do think mashed potatoes are often the most boring part of the meal they’re included in. Feels like they’re only ever as good as what’s in/on them - garlic, gravy, etc. But even at their worst they’re pretty much always tolerable and will get you full
I don’t blame you for thinking they’re overrated. I had a whole spiel written out about how I think most mashed potatoes are bad and blah blah blah this is wrong and this is right. It was like I was vomiting words onto this forum, so now I'm posting this instead.
