Hi. My favorite food is mashed potatoes.

Yum! I love those too! Recipes started floating around as far back as 1747!

I guess they are a real classic. What country was that in?

The recipes started in a book by hannah glasse called The Art of Cookery!

Wow. I have never read a cookbook that old. I have seen ones from the 19th century though.

There are so many variations in recipe. There is one from France that adds egg yolk in it.

I like they way they look when they are piped into fancy shapes. I bet the egg yolk would help them hold their shape.
