I know people who use a ricer are dedicated to that way, but I love, love, love my stand mixer. It makes fluffy mashed potatoes and my family inhales them. Sometimes I drop a clove of garlic in the water when I cook the potatoes; sometimes I add chives or sour cream or cheese when I mash them.

Heat then mixed a little because if you stir to much they get mushy, anyways then I added hillshire beef kalbosahalf of the larg package chopped) and cooked all together with scramble eggs on the side for another 15 minutes or till I felt them crispy enough. Topped the potatos with a little cheddar cheese and salsa then served with homemade flour tortillas I made this for my Daniel before a all day session. What was left over I put in burritos to go for him..smile Sugar Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. -Filled with light, Sugar. -----Original Message----- From: Abby Vincent via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2016 1:50 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Abby Vincent Subject: Re: [CnD] Potatoes I love trying different types of potatoes. Russets are great for the classic baked potato and mashed potatoes. For potato salad, I like half red, half fingerling. Yukon Golds are great for both baking and salads. My potato salad has whatever kind of potatoes I have, boiled, sliced, and while hot, adding a bit of Italian dressing. Peeling is optional. When they are cool, toss with mayo. Add chopped celery, black olives, and radishes. We could have days of threads for mashed potatoes. The secret is a potato ricer. You squeeze the cooked potato through a cup with holes, along with slices of butter. Then stir in salt and optional ingredients such as roasted garlic and pepper.

Instead of boiling potatoes, I cook them in the slow cooker, then use the potatoes any way I want-I can slice them and fry them or oven-cook them further, or cut them for potato salad if I am using them. I just put some red potatoes in, and they wil be done in three hours. I am going to make some potato salad. I am in the mood for some with some chicken, or perhaps, something else.
