...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!)
Is anyone else getting a hint of Donnie?

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

Yes! I knew it seemed somewhat familiar. Although this guy has a comforting demeanor, whereas Donny has more of an injured animal demeanor.
..and I (well my wife the potato expert) seconds on the ricer.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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
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...
Gramma's smushed puhtayduhs and gravy. mmm.
