How do you make YOUR mashed potato?

I've been known to make mine with a little bit of creamed corn & diced bacon *drool*

sometimes like Sarah

more often than not, i add butter and milk, salt and pepper, onion flakes (or lightly cooked onions), and cheese

i'm not a fan of mash either, but there are just some meals that go hand in hand with mash so i mix it up depending on the day! our cupboard is never without onion flakes to rescue boring mash though!

Mmmmm, the onion flakes sounds nice, I'll have to try that. I also mix in some sour cream with mine.

hmmmm ok...
boil peeled tatters... with a pinch of salt in the water
then i use the electric beater
add a touch more salt, milk and butter and beat more with electric beater.
PERFECT mashed tatters....sooo creamy using the beater...

I just do plain butter, milk, pepper and bit of salt, (use to add finely chopped up onion, but not so much anymore) I melt the butter and add the rest to heat it up a bit before adding it to the mashed potatoes.

My dad does this thing with cream and butter and mustard and it is sooo delicious, but I always forget what else he adds to it lol, so don't make it

I LURRRRVVVVEEEE mashed tatters....mmmmmmm with meatloaf and gravy....yummo!!!

[Madissun]

Yup, thats what we're having. Meatloaf, gravy, mashed potato and roasted cherry tomatoes...Yummo!

I like the creamed corn idea and the sour cream idea. Anything with sour cream on it is good to me!

[Bloom]

Mmmmm.... *drool* - I definately want mashed potatoes and meatloaf tonight!

Tobyturtle your dinner plans sounds delish, if you could just magic some up to Queensland for me, that would be great!

I always put the drained potatoes back on the heat to get the excess water steamed out of them. I add milk and butter. And occaisionally wholegrain mustard too. I like mine not too stiff.

I add milk and butter. Then I add some chopped and lightly cooked onions and some chopped spring onion and parsley flakes.
Sometimes I add grated cheese or another vegie like sweet potato/pumpkin.

hmmm maybe im the laziest person in the world but i buy the frozen potato pellets from coles/woolies
in the frozen chip section
you chuck them in the microwave for 10 mins..then i add some salt and butter
i blame my mum....she used to give me Deb as a kid and this is even better....and i used to hate hate hate cleaning the potato masher it would take longer than the rest of the dishes combined...it saves me doing that.
and i dont care if your all shocked/disgusted that i eat instant mash..yummmmmo
