    I only make mashed potatoes when someone else is here to peel them. Peeling 5 pounds for one meal is not my idea of fun.

    When I was little, I hated mashed potatoes. I lied with my nana, who simply mashed up the potatoes, and the texture made me feel sick.

    As a grown up, having made them properly, They are one of my very favourite thing. Creamy mash with a little cheddar and mustard through it is one of my comfort foods!


    Your photo almost made me drool!

    Nothing can replace the deliciousness of mashed potatoes; I mean, where would we put the gravy? Growing up on a ranch, mashed potatoes were a staple in our family. They still evoke oohhs and ahhhhs from my brood!

    Nice guest post Grace! I do love mashed potatoes. Mine are never as good these days as I remember them being back home. There is something especially nourishing about coming together as a family around the table. There's something special about recapturing those memories as we share meals and recipes too.

  52. JeanneOctober 22, 2009 at 1:09 PM

    Mmmm... off home now to make mashed potatoes and sausages with red wine gravy! The best mashed potatoes I ever had were at Joel Robuchon's restaurant here in London - he apparently makes them with approximately half potatoes and half butter!!
