Even though mashed potatoes are one of the most common and easy foods there are loads of variations to the mashed potatoes recipe. And everyone has his favorite type. We guess this is one of those foods that everyone ate at home when they were still living with their parents. And this is where you pick up your taste. No matter what you do, where you go and what you eat, you always measure meals by that taste you developed as a kid. If your family never ate fish, you probably don’t like them now. If your family used lots of vinegar on your salads today no salad is sour enough, and so on… And if you mom made great mashed potatoes – well all other mashed potatoes just taste wrong. It’s just that those mashed potatoes that your mom made are the best and all others can’t compare.

Of course they are not wrong, they just come from someone else’s mother :). So you can have your mashed potatoes plain or with lots of milk, maybe with lots of butter, maybe mixed to the max and very smooth or maybe you still like to feel some un-mashed bits and pieces. Maybe you like them with carrots, maybe with a little parsley, maybe with some onions or garlic… None of these are wrong or right but they are all different.

So every time you make mashed potatoes think about your mom :)!
