I trust him to do the right thing.

I don’t feel he is “simple”; he understands the science of plant growth and cares that he produces the best potatoes possible and even that they be used in the best way considering their individual qualities. And I do agree with the sense that he strives to do the right thing. Zen-like. I dislike the attitude which some producers of our food seem to operate under, that they are simply selling product. They could make widgets or chicken carcasses and whichever there was more profit in is the one they would specialize in. I’d rather they care about their workers quality of life as well as the short lives of the animals grown for food and the nutritional quality of plants we consume.

Why is the mash so watery? The way we have it in Ireland is much more fluffy and we dont pour liquid butter in we mash in cold butter and let it melt in

[@thatswhathesaid04]

Emer_Gency trust me in America we like fluffy mashed potatoes too. I’ve never seen mashed potatoes that runny!

[@tsalzman99]

I’ve never had a runny mash in the US. It’s always very fluffy with cold butter and a little bit of cold milk mixed in

This is a puree. Mash gotta have stiff peaks. How else are you going to make a gravy volcano?

[@frankbrenner4852]

Hey! My peaks are as stiff as they come.

[@Inkwellish]

Stiff peaks are essential so that one can create a suitable reservoir of flow-able gravy. At some point the gravy dam must be breached, and the gravy must then cascade down Mt Potato and flood the unsuspecting towns folk of side dishes below.

The episode was really the essence of real cooking. You cook and you taste test. You experiment in making a change and then you taste test again. You refine improving what your cooking and making and you keep tasting and tweaking it. All the while improving the dish. That’s the real essence of cooking and learning the entire way with learned knowledge that so many people don’t get and just always wanting a ready made recipe.

I feel like this could have been a good episode if they had given any kind of justification for why they made the potatoes so runny.
