you know I think my favorite food is mashed potatoes
Same here. Mashed potatoes is such a simple dish too. Its just boiled potatoes then mashing them.
i think that is why I like them, i get to mash them up and eat them
Do you prepare your mashed potatoes with butter, garlic, and cream? Its a pretty common method.
i like to add butter and salt after they are cooked 
That is good also. What about during the holidays? We always have mashed potatoes for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
yes some one always bring mash potatoes for the holidays, i think its a Federal law :)
Haha I hear that. Mashed potatoe recipes date back to 1747. Hannah Glass's recipe can be found in "The Art of Cookery".
