Mashed potato is made by mashing freshly boiled potatoes with a ricer, fork, potato masher, or food mill. Dehydrated and frozen mashed potato are available in many places.

Ingredients

The use of "floury" types of potato is usually recommended, although "waxy" potatoes are sometimes used for a different texture. Butter or vegetable oil or milk or cream are usually added to improve flavour and texture, and the potatoes are seasoned with salt and pepper, and any other desired herbs and spices. Popular ingredients and seasonings include: garlic, cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, crisp onion or spring onion, mustard, spices such as nutmeg, chopped herbs such as parsley or rosemary, white turnip, and wasabi. A French variation adds egg yolk for pommes duchesse, piped through a pastry tube into wavy ribbons and rosettes, brushed with butter and lightly browned. In low-calorie or non-dairy variations, milk, cream, and butter may be replaced by soup stock or broth. Aloo Bharta, an Indian sub-continent variation, uses chopped onions, mustard (oil, paste or seeds), chili pepper, coriander leaves and other spices.

How do you get mashed potatoes to taste like what you get in a restaurant?
Q. When I've made mashed potatoes, whether instant or homemade, there is no flavor to them. What is the best way to enhance them?
Asked by Cinnamon - Sun Mar 4 23:21:19 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I make these at least 2 times a week at my restaurant and the secret to good mashed potatoes is to boil the potatoes in well salted water, be generous with salt and seasoning (I just use salt and white pepper usually, but roasted garlic is good too), use lots of real butter and I prefer half/half to milk or cream. Start slow when adding your seasoning so you don't overdo it, but keep tasting until you have the flavor you want. If they are dry, add more dairy until they are as creamy as you want. good luck!

How do you get buttered mashed potatoes stain out of a shirt?
Q. When I was eating dinner last night, some of my mashed potatoes fell onto my shirt. I instantly changed shirts, and sprayed some prelaundry treatment on my shirt. I washed it today, and hung it up to dry (not wanting to take chances). The stain didn't come out. Is there anything else that I should try or do? Or is it a lost cause?

Dutch receipe with mashed potatoes and spinach?
Q. I am looking for a receipe called Butical ( Spelling ?) this is a Dutch receipe that has mashed potatoes and spinach and Bartwurst. I am looking for all the ingrediants. Can anyone Help?

A. I'm not sure about what you're looking for, as I have no idea if you're looking for spinach with mashed potatoes or if you are looking for something else. From what you tried to spell (and I looked at this for a while! haha) it looks like you're talking about Boerenkool (Kale in English). This is NOT spinach and is mashed together with the potatoes. Here's a recipe for you I took from a Dutch recipe book: Time to prepare: 20-30 mins Serves +/- 4 people 2 Pounds Kale (Boerenkool) 2 Pounds Potatoes Milk Salt Sausage (Bratwurst) 4 tbl spoons butter pepper Cut the potatoes in little pieces Put some water in the pan that will about cover the potato pieces with a little salt. Put the Kale on top of the potatoes and the sausage / wurst on… [cont.]
