Tamar: Good questions.
Garlic – sometimes I leave it, sometimes I take it out. That depends if I want a garlicky flavor or not, although since it’s cooked its taste is more subtle than raw garlic.
Ricer is kitchen tool that looks like a big garlic press and it forces food through tiny holes giving food, like potatoes, a fine texture.

When you drain the potatoes do you take out the garlic or keep it to be mashed? What is a “ricer”?
Sweet potato sounds nice.

I think I'm switching to your mashed taters. They sound absolutely divine! .-= Katrina´s last blog ..Definitely Not Healthy =-.

I agree with you, there are definitely a lot of bad mashed potatoes in the world, but the good ones are simply sublime. I'm not sure I could use that chef's ratio, but definitely agree one should be generous with butter and cream. .-= Kelly´s last blog ..A Meatless Main for Cinco de Mayo =-.

Ah isn’t that beautiful; a good mashed potatoe is indeed, essential! I’ve actually had a portion of that incredibly butter mashed potatoe once and I did not like it. Waaaay to much butter for my taste. It was almost dripping of the plate (so maybe it was poorly made, that could be..)
Nurit, your comment love thingie seems all of a sudden to not show my latest post anymore. I changed my blog and had some issues with feeds and such but I just notice this…

We are lovers of potatoes, bacon and butter in this household. I love to put sour cream and chives into ours. Yum! .-= midgetkeeper´s last blog ..Birthday #2 In Pictures =-.
