Potato salad is better this way too. Thanks for showing the world the correct way to make mashed potatoes! I'm curious about your plans for the leftovers.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962490721295362487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942946300793285698.post-86592586414862306502012-07-20T09:10:28.228-07:002012-07-20T09:10:28.228-07:00My hubby kept saying he needed a ricer to make mas...My hubby kept saying he needed a ricer to make mashed potatoes. After hearing him fuss for 2 years I finally ordered one on Amazon. I was so excited to present it to him, he took one look and said "What the heck is that?" Turns out the ricer was not what he had been talking about, he wanted a masher, which I have had since before we got married almost 40 years ago. The ricer has never been taken out of the package, guess I will get it out and try this. I adore mashed potatoes with absolutely NO lumps. Thanks for reminding me of the ricer way down and out of the way in a cupboard.Patti T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00203629964623921179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942946300793285698.post-92232675934148613432012-07-19T18:51:31.301-07:002012-07-19T18:51:31.301-07:00I've never boiled whole potatoes before peelin...I've never boiled whole potatoes before peeling - I knew you could do this to help lock-in more for the nutrients and keep them from boiling away during the cooking process, but in the past I've always peeled the potatoes before boiling if I bothered to peel. Thanks for showing this. And I also never knew that heat played a role in the absorption of liquid, but it makes sense and I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I make mashed (or whipped) potatoes...Javelin Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377013194172912364noreply@blogger.com
