They were deeeeelicious. I make mine with butter, a little sour cream, some milk, garlic salt and black pepper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-mashed-potatoes/page/2#post-1180728 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 23:47:34 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1180728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heavy cream, a ton of butter, and a bit of salt. I pour the cream an butter into the bowl then push my cooked potatoes through a potato ricer and stir it all together. Then add salt to taste No lumpy mash potatoes here. Totally not a "healthy" way to make them but I'm just not that type of cook who does comfort food in a low-cal, low-fat manner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-mashed-potatoes/page/2#post-1180626 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:55:05 +0000 pui 1180626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as the OP!

Even the super spendy grocery store that smokes their own cow butt or whatever, doesn't carry white potatoes with any consistency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-mashed-potatoes#post-1179522 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:18:25 +0000 lindseykaye 1179522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Those are my kind of potatoes!</p> <p>I make them with whatever I have on-hand really. Some combo of milk, cream, sour cream, cream cheese, nad/or broth. Usually garlic (powder, fresh garlic sizzled in some butter for a minute, or roasted garlic). ALWAYS salt and pepper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-in-your-mashed-potatoes#post-1179521 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:18:17 +0000 teamjse 1179521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roasted garlic, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. </p>
