I add onion in my mashed potatoes, a must have really! This helps to fine tune my process, too bad I haven't seen those wire mashers around where I live.

so now I know why when I cube up my potatoes and boil the heck out of them and think they're surely done then mash them and add the butter, milk & seasonings...taste test to find little lumps so I assume they weren't quite done so I microwave the whole thing for ten minutes then find they're still lumpy so I put them in the food processor for five minutes...
...they're always runny/sticky.
Thanks for this video, I think I'll be brave and try it again this way. (I had been banned from ever trying again and limited to the potato flakes from the store...I'll show 'em!)

I love how self-righteous he is about the mashers:P

Is anyone else getting a hint of Donnie?

Yes! I knew it seemed somewhat familiar. Although this guy has a comforting demeanor, whereas Donny has more of an injured animal demeanor.

In my opinion the best mashed potatoes in the world involve carmelized leeks and heavy cream.

I occasionally prefer lumps in my mashed potatoes. Not always though, it's good with some variation. Another good tip is to mix in cubes of feta cheese after mashing.

Okay the half potato method, looks like a noob move to me. If you are making lot of other stuff and have the time/range-space to waste, I suppose it's a little simpler, but I often make fluffy taters as a meal, I don't need to stand their watching water boil twice as long.

I slice mine into .75cm disks, usually leave the skin on, and since my disks are the same size, which is not that hard to do with a good sharp knife, they cook evenly.

His "more cuts means more chance for error" comment is lame. I understand that most people don't get well acquainted with a knife and cutting board, but that's sloppy, a good knife and a good board are elegant tools, the knowledge of which pays fat dividends in the kitchen. People should not be encouraged to avoid skill building activities, especially not that one.

Great looking puh-tay-duhs.

Finally we're getting some great content into the cooking channel. This and the French toast vid is the sort of stuff I've always hoped would fill up the channel.

More!

Good tips for boiling potatoes. Over boiling and over mashing is so common.

Another tip- add sauteed onions or shallots and a teaspoon or two of balsamic or red wine vinegar. Sounds weird, but is really good. You'll need less salt if you put in something sour. Much healthier with less salt!

OMG, you people and your smooth mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes have lumps, what part of "mashing" involves liquefying the spuds in a blender?

You Sherrif's Packaged Pablum Crap potato eaters sicken me.

Oh, bit of milk, slice of butter and a pinch of garlic and no more than 30 seconds mashing FTW!

1) potatO, not potatA

2) what's the purpose of using unsalted butter, then adding salt?

3) how on Earth does the shape of the masher make a difference in taste?

4) restrain yourself to 2 laps! OK?

5) damn that looks good!

Added to my MacGyver playlist... he would have been proud...

I know he probably did a voice-over on this video, but the part at 5:10 came out a bit strange when he tasted it while talking

Mash potato win = Add 1 teaspoon of butter, about a quarter cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of Paul Newman's creamy garlic salad dressing...

ps. I'm so glad he actually gave them a whip at the end there, I felt the urge to beat him with that masher...

The way you can tell his mashed potatos taste awesome is because he DOES say "puh-tay-duh", just like my gramma used to.

Gramma's smushed puhtayduhs and gravy. mmm.
