    You should do more cooking.

    Mashed potatoes do have other ingredients besides potatoes. Like butter, milk, nutmeg, other stuff depending on local customs…

    Mashed patatoes made purely out of squashed potatoes are not something you would enjoy.

      “Riced potatoes” are one example. Mashed (riced) to look like rice, sometimes with added herbs and spices. But potatoes mashed with a splash of whole cream/milk, some butter and salt is a wonderful experience if nothing else. Plain potatoes mashed with a fork only? I’ll pass…

      I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I’m saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn’t really know the difference now does it

        Masticating and mashing are different processes. Please tell me your aren’t chewing your potatoes (insert next step) and calling them mashed?

          It’s like the traditional way of making chicha… chew up potatoes, spit them in a bowl.
