Salmon streak :eek: Sweet jesus, this isn't the hilton. Personally for my gourmet uni student lunches, i sometimes treat my self to "Le SPC Spagetiiola" or "Scramble eggoletto" Both are almost edible and cost next to nothing :) What more could you ask for?

[Samy]

Little bits of pre-fried bacon, plus some freshly chopped chives, this is in addition to butter, milk, s & p.

thats sweet im going to add garlic to my mash next time. it will be sickkkkk

[DJ1wheel]

If you use a blender, and the potatoes come out of the pot steaming hot, add an egg to the mix as soon as you hit the blend button.

that is the secret to a smooth consistency.

[bunya djer n dher]

and salt :p

shit i forgot like the main ingredient :o :p

[Hugle]

it also tastes real good with gravy mhmmmmm :)

[escott12]

Heres the recipe that never fails to impress.

Super Mash

Spuds
Milk (or cream)
Butter
S&P

And then the secret bit

Roast Veges, all chopped roughly (Tomato, Carrot, Onion, Broc and anything else you can find)
Kanga Bangas
Baccon
Chilli
Whole seed mustard
and Wasabi to your taste

Roast the veges, cook the meat, then the mash, then mix it all back together and wack it back in the fry pan for a bit.

Finely (as in 1mm cubed) diced onion, some crushed garlic and lemon pepper fried in butter covered on low heat for a while, mash the potatoes with whole egg mayonnaise, whole grain mustard and a bit of sour cream then stir the onion + garlic through before serving.

Simple but it tastes great, the whole egg mayonnaise is the key ingredient.

I though I had a decent spud mash but this garlic will get me making something nice for dinner.

What I do:

Cook spuds.
Mash spuds.
Add milk, butter and an egg and stir to smooth.
Add a tomato diced.
Add a capcicum diced.
S + P
Stir.
Put in baking dish.
Sprinkle bread crumbs over top.
Put cheese over top, lots, oh and more cheese.
Bake in the oven on the temperature that all males use (180, I mean, do guys use any other temperature? Serious if someone here uses their oven on a different temperature tell me lol).

Yep cook till it's a bit golden brown on top.

Tomato sauce or lemon pepper on top and your set :D Yeow dinner.

[Breaka]

the whole egg mayonnaise is the key ingredient.

Rik is on the money. First off whole egg mayo is a great in mashed spuds.
I normally have mine with a fair whack of butter, milk (not heaps), a descent table spoons worth of egg mayo and some salt & pepper.

As for the mashing method, I'm not sure what you guys do but I do as follows.
Drain the water completely, get the old spud masher out and work the spuds for a while. Then I take to them with a wisker which is used for mixing cake etc. Without one of these there is no way you can make a descent mash.

[mike-]

You don't really need a egg beater thing.

A big lump of butter makes it smooth and creamy, and you just need to make sure the spuds are cooked properly and you won't get lumps.

OHHHHHHHH And make sure you have a variety of potato for MASHING.

I tryed these new ones, they are like red on the outside, and kind of greasy on the inside? The best yet :rolleyes:

[Customjimmy]

I am so hungry now. and I'm going to make mashed potato. with garlic. and a couple of snags and a big pile of peas. ahhh

[Booost]

Mmmmmmm bout to go have some mash and lamb chops right now!:D

[Tomas]

toptip: Cook the spuds in chicken/vegetable/asian stock - gives them extra flavor.

Spring Onion
Diced bacon
Fried egg, chopped
butter
garlic
salt n pepper

= Heaven.

being a poor uni student doesn't mean the end to the world.

although sometimes is does happen.

mashed potatoes is only with cream, butter and white pepper. ban tomato saude.

like the irish, enough butter to hold the potatoes together :P

[ned_stp]

how many of you guys leave the skin on the potatoes?
ive been doing that lately and i prefer it to no skin.

alot of butter is the key to the perfect mash spud. i dont like all these different flavours in mine, just milke butter and s+p.

[haydn]

Try honey and tomato sauce, sounds weird but i find the two flavour complement each other nicley... true

[WolfCreekPsycho]

For left over Mash the following morning:
Use Hot fry pan
Add some butter to pan, then throw in the left over mash and flatten with fork and form what looks like an upside down frisbee.
Even better with some chopped ham or bacon.
When crispy on one side, flip it and pop your bread in the toaster.
When the toast pops, butter it and stick the mash on top.
Add salt and pepper to taste.... The best !!!

[donthucktoflat]
