Pasty Mashed Taters

[mAlice]

Now I know why I had pasty mashed potatoes a few years ago. I was wondering how I did that.

Read a book or two by Alton Brown. Once I found out how much science is involved in the cooking process, I suddenly became interested in it.

Just bookmarked that site. Our taters usually come out good, but those are good benchmarks to stay away from.

Thanks!!

Mine come out OK but just learned a few things.

I searched the site for Gravy. My S.O. got mad at me last Thanksgiving when I asked her to pass the beans. Her gravy actually looked like a bowl of beans and I thought that was what it was. I felt so bad, she worked hard as hell on that meal.

Now I just gotta figure out a way to politely present this to her.

:meh: I'll just wing it. Sometimes my gravy HAS been too thick, but I was conscious of my mistake when I made it. As for the mashed potatoes themselves, I make adjustments as needed while mashing them. Sometimes a little extra milk will solve the problem, but to be honest, I've only had the issue once or twice since I started cooking in 1988.
