      You can mash them when they are raw, add some rye flour, shape balls about the size of large snowballs, with pieces of salt mutton and mutton kidney fat in the center of the balls. Boil for 20-25 minutes. Serve with a "sauce" of the boiling water stirred with butter (real butter, not margarine). This is one of the few hot dishes I know of where the accompanying drink is full fat milk. Maybe that is not the dish you were thinking of. Anyway, it is delicious.

              I'm strange. I do not like mashed potatoes. I like them baked, twice baked, raw with salt, french fried or any other way but don't you mash my food. However, I will eat KFC mashed until the gravy is gone. Told ya I'm strange. My wife on the other hand (like just about anyone else) loves em.

                From scratch or instant? Doesn't matter, tell me when they are ready. Or, showing my age, I prefer the Frug.

                    Chubby Checker recorded a song about them. Apparently he thought highly of them.

                      Good with sausages, peas, and gravy; or with steak and kidney pie; or liver and onions. But it's got to be the right potato! Yukon Gold are good.

                            I like them with enough salt and pepper and a gravy appropriate for the main dish...white for white meats and brown for red meats. Besides making a great side dish, they also make copious amounts of methane. :laugh:

                                They are OK at times but not a choice for me. Potatoes gone bad can kill you. Yikes!

                                  skin on, baby red mashed potatoes with garlic, horseradish and a smidge of steak seasoning when you add the cream and butter. Otherwise you can keep them.

                                    I think they'd become an MP next month if they were on the ballot paper. (UK specific...)

                                        In terms of intelligence, your average potato would outthink an MP.
