Mashed Potatoes

[stroh]

OMFG!!!  I just looked it up (now that I'm home)

LMAO!

spacey.........agreed.  WTF??!!

Aside  from who's credited with giving it a name.  Um.  Who was that bored one night, and said "Hey, hun.  Instead of our usual routine.  I was thinking........"

OK, come on now, let's hear your favorite mashed potato recipes -- lots of butter?  Creamy?  Garlic?  Lumpy?  Instant flakes?

Boiled, then peeled, then diced roughly, then mashed incompletely.  With the right potatoes, it's magic.  And without the butter, sour cream, and all that other crap.  Let the spuds shine.

(Plus, the lathering can get you in trouble with the law.)

I thought sour cream, etc. was for a baked potato(e)

I'm pretty sure it was the misinterpretation and confusion of the definitions for "lathering" and "slathering" that gets you in trouble with the law.  That, and eating mashed potatoes as a snack.  Thankfully, the law isn't extended into parallel universes.

That article has me wishing I had time to make a snack.  But, alas!  I'm having an early supper tonight.  Guess I'll have to put them off to a mid-night snack.

Or not!   Supper was venison roast and corn and mashed potatoes!
