Behold Mashed Potato Success from Last Night!!

Trigger Warnings: Food

Mama helped a ton last night and overall, the process was a lot easier and quicker than I thought!

I also love the crap out of my new potato mashers! Mama bought me 2 last night and I love them both!! :D :D

Behold:





Mama helped me boil them and it was great, easy fun to mash them all up in the bowl! Overall, I added half a stick of [salted] butter, garlic powder, 1% milk, some green onions, and some more garlic powder. I also kept the skins as that’s where all your nutrients are the texture is pretty good!

Beside it, Mama and I made fried chicken and steamed broccoli. Yum yum dinner tonight! ^ ^

(…Although I think I could’ve added the whole stick of butter instead of half and a little more garlic powder. It’d be a tad bit more flavorful and wholesome that way…)

It's a good looking meal, so hopefully it tasted just as good.

(More butter is better when you're making mashed potatoes, almost always.)

[azurelunatic]

Yes.

More milk can sometimes reduce the amount of necessary butter, as can cheese.

But butter is very good.

[amarie24]

Ahh, I had no idea more milk and cheese (uhh...not that I really use or eat cheese in mashed potatoes, or even baked potatoes-but I do hear it's pretty good!), so that's pretty awesome sauce!!

Butter is wonderful.

[amarie24]

It did and ditto on the butter! :P

It looks like a really nice dinner! The broccoli is cooked just right to be bright green. And the green onions make the mashed potato look peppy and yum!

I have a really nice potato masher. It's the type with one metal rod bent into waves for the business end and the handle directly centred over it, and it's shiny. I had the sort with a slotted piece and the handle attached at the side and it kept bending when I pushed down on it, so eventually I got a better one. My potato masher makes me feel happy, and I thought I was a bit odd, but if you're pleased by kitchen implements too, then maybe not!

OMFG, thank you so much! I do indeed pride myself on how well I cook my broccoli-bright green and crisp is where it's at! Ditto on the green onions in the potatoes! :D

And I love my potato masher, too! I think next time I make mashed potatoes, I'll take a picture of my 2 potato mashers to show you & share in the fun with you! I think it's freakin' awesome that our potato mashers make both of us happy!! We're not odd at all-we need and deserve all the happiness in our lives!

So I say happy potato mashing to us! :D
