4 Levels of Mashed Potatoes: Amateur to Food Scienti...

"Mashed potatoes are one of my all-time favorite sides."
With you so far.
"And I'm going to be taking them to the next level-"
Oh?
"-by smoking them with hay."

what is with you level 3 cooks

just buy butter/cream at the store you ponce

Potatoes (skin on), butter, salt, pepper, bit of garlic, and sour cream. Optionally chives. That's all you need. Using a ricer, smoking it, idk. That all feels performative rather than getting a meal out.

I might try the sour cream sometime. I've always done it skin off, butter and milk.

Milk's a good addition, but I like it with sour cream a bit more.

I've heard some people use cream chese, too.

eeh.

Yeah, I'm pretty much with you.

I'd try it if somebody gave it to me.

I do wanna try making pommes aligot, which is like ultra cheesy mashed potatoes, but then it doesn't actually pretend to be regular mashed potatoes only fancy, it's its own thing
