@hypotheticaltapeworm Жыл бұрын

@@Greydawg Sometimes simple is best. You can make mashed potatoes all froufrou with stuff like roasted garlic, a myriad of herbs, and truffles but mashed potatoes is a humble dish, and it's supposed to taste like potatoes. Is your idea of the "best potatoes" something that overloads them with other ingredients?

@Greydawg Жыл бұрын

@@hypotheticaltapeworm To be fair, he even implied it himself regarding making them more quickly rather than better by nature. While "best" is absolutely subjective, if you've ever had mashed potatoes that have been through a mesh, you can absolutely tell a difference; it's a chef-y *only* thing, an extra & exhaustive step for an inescapable texture upgrade. To that end, I'm not sure many of us would actually notice much difference between these "best ever" potatoes & the vast majority of recipes out there, but I sincerely guarantee you'd notice a mesh-filtered mash. It's why I try my best to never use the word "best" this way outright, for what it's worth.

@hypotheticaltapeworm Жыл бұрын

@@Greydawg Eh, making it a uniform paste isn't a texture update in my opinion, having some variance in the size of the potato bits gives a heterogeneous experience, which many like. I've had sieved potatoes, and yeah they're fine. Not particularly an upgrade, just another step to make it resemble a potato as little as possible.

Good video! From the Netherlands here and although we don't have a rich culinairy history, we do make a lot of hotchpotches where we use mashed potatoes. I think the name hotchpotch comes from the Dutch word 'hutspot'. Hutspot is a typical kind of hotchpotch, containing potatoes, carrots and onions and then mashed, dating back to 1574 when the Spanish army sieged the city of Leiden. Hotchpotches are made a lot here and we make it with kale, sauerkraut, raw andive, Brussels sprouts, brown beans and of course carrot and onoin. Most of the hotchpoches contain cubes of baked bacon or pork belly and a smoked sausage. So when we are talking about mashed potatoes, the most important part of a hotchpotch, I think I can say this is a big thing in the Dutch heritage. Keeping the potatoes larger so they absorb less water is a pro tip, like letting the potatoes steam out, very important. After mashing adding the butter for creaminess but just butter will make it like cement so you need milk or cream. Depending how you use the mashed potatoes, I personally season it afterwards, so I don't use salt while boiling the potatoes since it will be a homogeneous substance. If I add baked pork belly, it will be salted by it and I season it by taste. I love it that you make lumpy mashed potatoes so you have little chunks of potato left in it. I don't particulary like the potato puree, a little 'bite' is what I prefer. Altogether, a great video!

Quick tip: With some of the leftover potato skin, heat it up with the cream (or milk, I use milk since you don't get as bloated as one does with cream) and some thyme or rosemary, if you prefer that. It will add a lot more potato flavor to the mash, then just sieve the skin out. As for the butter, I stick it in the mash in room temperature, there's less risk of "breaking" the mash that way. Try it out! Other flavorings that can raise your mash are; garlic (raw or roasted), black or white pepper, nutmeg.

Man that looks delicious, love mashed potatoes. I do them basically the same way, but I put a tablespoon of full fat sour cream and man are they good.

I loveeee ur videos. Thank you for explaining the concept and science of certain cooking skills makes a world of difference. I definitely started mashed potatoes cutting them into tiny pieces and they would be very stiff lol

Great recipe. Honestly, I do one really similarly, but I don't peel my potatoes and I cut the big ones into thirds rather than halves. Gives a bit more of the earthy potato flavor that really balances out the butter/cream, and adding a little sauteed garlic to the mix is great too.

Throw in some cabbage and some fresh herbs to yours and you'll get a very traditional Irish mash called colcannon

@@cheeseypie5555 oh, I had to see a picture on google images....mmmm it really is the case of mizing the chpped cabbage to the mix. Looks interesting...that's a food combination I have never tried. I wonder what the texture is like...because the mashed potato is so soft and the cabbage thin strips must be chewy... Can you clarify on that?

@cheeseypie5555 Жыл бұрын

@@teacherchil Best method would be too thinly slice the cabbage, add a good 2-3 pinches of salt directly on the cabbage and let it do it's work for about 30 minutes an hour, will help draw out the moisture in the cabbage making it more tender, wring out the remaining water and then add to your mash mix.

What cream can I use

Other than warming the cream and butter this is exactly how I make mine. Grandma potato masher all the way.

You should try a ricer. It’s way more efficient and it makes the perfect texture!

I saw somewhere else where they steamed the potatoes instead of boiling them. I tried it and loved it. The potatoes were light and fluffy and tasted more like potatoes than any boiled potatoes I've ever tried and I've had potatoes that were boiled whole. Just a thought, thanks for the great instructions.
