MASHED POTATOES
As a meat and potatoes kind of guy, mashed potatoes is my favorite side dish. I've been making this for years, and it's the main thing I'm asked to make for family gatherings. These mashed potatoes are better than any I've ever found anywhere

Steps:
- Peel, cut up and boil potatoes until tender.
- Drain water and put potatoes in a mixing bowl.
- Add margarine, sour cream and milk.
- Use an electric mixer and mix until desired consistency.
- The KEY here is to add salt and pepper to taste.
- You might add anywhere from a teaspoon to several tablespoons of salt, just depending on how much you like salt.
- Pepper is the same way, although use it more sparingly.
- Just remember to add a little at a time, until you get it where you like it.
- Once that is done, I usually put a couple of pats of margarine on top of the finished potatoes to let it melt.
- Then sprinkle parsley over it.
- This will make the best mashed potatoes I've ever found anywhere.

SLOW-COOKER MASHED POTATOES
The slow cooker takes an already-simple classic recipe and makes it even easier. Simply toss cut russet potatoes, butter and a touch of salt and pepper into a slow cooker, turn it on low and walk away for a few hours. When you return, the potatoes will be perfectly tender and ready to be mashed. Best of all, the slow cooker traps all the potato flavor, making these spuds extra potatoey.

Steps:
- Toss the potatoes, butter, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 cup of water, then cover and cook on high until the potatoes are tender, about 4 hours. (The potatoes might have browned lightly in spots but that is okay.)
- Remove the lid and add the sour cream and 1 1/2 cups warm milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes until they are mostly smooth. If the potatoes need to be thinned out, stir in the remaining 1/2 cup warm milk. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.

- In the same Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage or mixture of greens, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the cabbage mixture ;is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the green onions for garnish and add the remaining green onion and garlic into the cabbage mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the half-and-half and cook 2 to 3 minutes until warm. Add the potatoes, then mash and stir until the mixture is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
- Transfer the colcannon to a serving dish and top with more butter, if preferred. Sprinkle with the reserved 1/4 cup green onions.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT MASHED POTATOES BETTER - EASY
From food.onehowto.com
- First, obviously, you need the instant mash which you will find in any grocers or supermarket. It is colloquially known as 'instant mash' and can be branded or from a grocers own brand.
- We should note that each packet usually contains around 230-250 g. (8.1 - 8.8 oz) of mash flakes, equivalent to 4 servings of mashed potatoes. You should vary the amounts according to the amount you want to prepare.
- The first step in preparing the mash will be to heat the water together with the milk and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. If you prefer a thicker mash you can choose to only use milk or cream, though you should keep in mind that this will also have more calories. If you buy flakes that already contain milk you should only add water.
- Before the water and milk start to boil you must remove the pan from the heat and pour in the contents of the sachet, sinking the flakes to the bottom of the liquid and stirring vigorously so they become absorbed.

- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt, let the water return to a boil, then add the potatoes (the water should cover the potatoes by at least 2 inches). Let the water come to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the potatoes, partially covered, until they are very tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and place it over medium-low heat. Heat the potatoes, tossing them occasionally, until the moisture is all gone and the potatoes have begun to dry out, but not to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the stove and put the potatoes through a ricer or mash them with a potato masher until they are as smooth as you like them. Return the potatoes to the pot.
- Place the milk and the cream in a microwave-safe bowl or pitcher and heat until hot, about 1 minute. (You can also heat the milk and cream in the pot over medium heat before you return the potatoes to it.) Add the butter and the hot milk and cream mixture to the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon or a whisk until well combined.

- When the potatoes are done, drain off the water reserving some for making gravy if desired. Place the drained potatoes into a mixer bowl or large bowl with room for mashing them by hand.
- Mash the potatoes until most of the lumps are gone with the melted butter. Scrape down the sides several times to help eliminate lumps.

- Place the potatoes in a large pan of water over a high heat. Add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
- Boil the potatoes gently until tender. When you can break the potatoes with a fork or cut them easily with a knife, they're done. Drain them in a colander.
- Leave the potatoes in the colander until the steam has evaporated (about 3-4 minutes). If the potatoes are still wet when you start to mash, you will end up with watery mash.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher. The harder you work them, the lighter and fluffier they'll become. Don't use anything electrical.
- Mash the butter into the potato. Once it has melted into the mash, add a splash of cream. Mash again and check the consistency, adding more cream if necessary.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT MASHED POTATOES - THE SPRUCE EATS

- Choose the Right Potatoes. Everyone has their own idea of what makes perfect mashed potatoes. Whether you're seeking a creamy or fluffy mash, spuds rich with cream or something as light as air, you can use the tips in this guide to make perfect mashed potatoes no matter which recipe you use.
- Boil the Potatoes Whole. Plenty of recipes and tips will have you peel and cut potatoes into even pieces. A much better option is to buy potatoes that are all about the same size so they will cook evenly.
- Dry the Potatoes. Drain the potatoes, return them to the hot pot, and return the pot to low heat. Cook, uncovered, shaking the pan every few minutes, for 5 to 10 minutes to evaporate as much water from the hot potatoes as you can.
- Peel & Mash the Potatoes. The extent to which it is worth the $15 or so that a ricer costs when it comes to mashed potatoes cannot be stressed enough. A ricer mashes potatoes utterly and completely, without a bump or lump in sight.
- Add Hot Cream, Butter, or Other Flavorings. Heat any cream, milk, butter, or flavorings before you add them to the mashed potatoes. This will keep the potatoes hot and also keep them fluffy.
HOW TO DEHYDRATE MASHED POTATOES - FOR HOME OR THE TRAIL

- Wash and peel potatoes. You can leave the peel on, but pieces with peel will not re-hydrate as smoothly. Cut each potato into 4 pieces and place in pot. Cover potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft and tender, 20 minutes. Do not under-cook.
- Begin mashing the potatoes with some of the reserved liquid (you could also use soup stock). Mash and add liquid as needed to make a very smooth mash. Make your mashed potatoes a little runnier than you normally would to get a nice smooth leather that will turn into a nice smooth powder.
- You can add spices or seasoning (garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, etc.) to the mash now or wait until the finished product. I prefer making plain mashed potatoes and seasoning when making the final recipe.
15 EXAMPLES OF FOOD THAT GOES WELL WITH MASHED POTATOES ...
From topfoodinfo.com
- Turkey. Without a whole roasted turkey, Thanksgiving dinners are incomplete. In the United States, most people prefer having turkeys with mashed potatoes.
- Fried Chicken. Apart from turkey, chicken dishes, especially fried chicken, go really well with mashed potatoes. Fried chickens tend to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Roasted Chicken. Are you craving some roasted chicken breasts? The chicken should be properly marinated and roasted till golden brown. A creamy side dish, such as mashed potatoes, will definitely complement your crispy yet tender chicken.
- Pork Chops. There’s no denying that grilled pork chops are delicious. However, the texture of the pork meat might seem a bit dry for you. Thus, you’ll want something creamy to go with it.
- Grilled Beef Steak. Beef is full of protein. Based on how you cook, grill, or fry them, they can be either dry or succulent. But, when it comes to choosing a beef dish that goes well with mashed potatoes, beef steaks will be your best bet.
- Pot Roast. One of the best comfort foods you’ll ever eat is pot roast. This rich gravy meal, which includes wine and tomato sauce, can be made with either beef or ham.
- Meatloaf. Another comfort food on this list is meatloaf. You can prepare meatloaf in many ways by adding ingredients of your choice. Given the dish is on the drier side, it is perfect for eating with creamy mashed potatoes.
- Corn Beef. Corn beef has always been one of the favorite dishes on my table on festive occasions. The salty, spicy, and tender dish is rich in flavor. Hence, plain, creamy mashed potatoes are just the best side dish to complement the taste of spicy corn beef dishes.
- Pork Roast. Pork roast with mashed potatoes is an amazing combination. Since the pork meat is a bit firm, the smooth and creamy mashed potatoes will make up for it.
- Fish Cakes And Patties. Not only meat, but you can also try mashed potatoes with various fish recipes. There are many ways you can combine mashed potatoes with fish.
