hasta hoy aprendi a pelar papas
I like to add nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, chopped parsley and/or chopped spring onions.
When making mashed potatoes, ALWAYS make extra! Refrigerate the leftovers. Make potatoe pancakes the next morning.
Using the best ingredients really does matter. That’s why you can go with simple. A lot of ppl use fancy sauces to mask not so great ingredients. It’s worth it to get the better stuff.
I'd eat mashed potatoes every single day, but my husband gets sick of them. I never thought I could learn anything about doing them, but I'm gonna do the big pieces next time. Yummo
The crickets was a nice touch! Made me laugh, anyway. I'm going to do mashed potatoes tonight (again), with bigger chunks. From some of the comments, I'm going to try adding nutmeg. I often add chives, never tried egg yolk, but I think it should improve shepherd's/cottage pie. Gotta agree with some, fried leftover mashed potato is delicious! I often mix sweet potato with white potato in a mash.
Why is Malorie catching smoke😂? Nvm the pun.
Please make an episode with different levels of gnocchi! Either a chef vs novice or a 4 levels. Merry holidays!
One of my favorite dishes….and very few people impress me by making mash….
If cutting the potatoes in half reduces the water that gets absorbed, would it be even better to bake the potatoes with the skin on, then scoop out so they will be quite dry, but can then ensure the only liquid is your butter/cream.
I prefer chunky with some peel
Can you cook potatoes in milk instead of water
He laughingly remarked that you do not want black spots in your mashed potatoes unless it is pepper. Pepper are actually an excellent choice for potatoes. Both for mashed and fried potatoes.
Guau!! I think because is "Epicurios" it has to be excellent but this guy take the ball out of the stadium! He explain how to make m.p. for a first o kindergarten child.
Thank you for sharing this video I make mash potatoes for my husband now ❤️
There are many ways to make mashed potatoes. Please don't claim to have the best method. Also, why are you even peeling them? Just a thought
Thanks Chef!

Really enjoyed the simple appreciation of a hearty meal
Absolutely perfect
Mash potatoes with lumps what a cop out. Call yourself a chef
This should be called “the same best mash potatoes video as all the others on YouTube “
