The best mash!

[Murph7355]

I always find mashed potato a bit meh. My kids love it and aren't keen on any other form of spud, so it gets cooked a lot here....

But we went out tonight to a Galvin restaurant and feck me, the "mash with beef dripping" was incredible.

Heart attack potato? For sure.

Can feel the dripping coming out of my pores? Yup.

But bloody hell it was lovely! (Murph Jrs wolfed it down too).

I half feel like I need to broaden my horizons where mash is concerned (though tonight's feels unbeatable). Anyone tried any other twists on the dullest form of tayto?

Have had butter loaded mash before, and am big on seasoning...but had never tried this before.

I felt it went better with the rest of the plate (steak on one, chicken on another), had a nicer texture etc.

Really lovely potatoes, but too good for mash!

Alternatively, a juicer (most are centrifugal) will separate the potato solids and juice adequately.

Hey, the thread title says "best" not "easiest"

Lesson learned for future reference
