Great article extolling simplicity in preparation and oh-so-contrary
to the Flay-vo-rama style where dozens of spices and condiments are
tossed in the mix. And where my unsophisticated taste buds register
squadoosch.

Good and time-appropriate article. I take this sentence, "Be
openhanded with salt and butter but stingy with milk, which will
flatten out the bright, earthy potato taste," to Thanksgiving
preparation with me!
thanks Karen

So, this pretty much backs up what many of us already know: when it
comes to mashed potatoes, KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid). This is one
of my gripes about Certain Restaurants that try to "brand" their menu
by taking a perfectly good, basic recipe and adding stuff that
overwhelms the basic ingredient. We all *know* that mashed potatoes
are just supposed to be a vehicle for butter and gravy!

old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."

To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox"

The best mashed potatoes are made from Maine potatoes.
The cooking aroma, the flavor, and the texture are like no other.
