[@smugglerscoveconsulting845]

The starch water should not be used when cooking potatoes. That is why hers had a glue-like consistency. Also, although handy to use, the immersion blender is not the right choice for mashing potatoes. It purees the potatoes, much like baby food, does not mash them and adds to the glue-like effect. Mash your potatoes by hand with a pastry cutter, or use a traditional hand or stand mixer, which will get some air into the mixture.

[@Ebenia]

I think this is a good idea but needs a bit of love. No starch water, no handblender and add the fresh herbs in the very end.

[@bigbellyjack]

+smugglerscoveconsulting It's the blender that's brought the starch out and she used yellow spuds which are starchier.

[@smugglerscoveconsulting845]

+Jack Harris Yep the blender would do it! My research indicates that russets are the starchiest. But you are right. If a blender was used it would not matter what variety.

[@sumayabenhossen6105]

+smugglerscoveconsulting some people prefer this consistency, me included, some don't want chunks. It is personal preference how potatoes are mashed.

[@smugglerscoveconsulting845]

+Sumaya Benhossen The issue is not chunks vs no chunks. The immersion blender makes a glue like consistancy as opposed to creamy potatoes no glue. However, you are right, it is a matter of personal preference, and for those not bothered by the consistancy, the immersion blender is certainly nice and handy to use. You look great and are a great example of your own cooking!

[@juliewerner9592]

These were lovely, had them with capers, saurkraut and green salad and topped with garlic humus for lunch. Hubby was blown away there was no butter or milk... will definitely be a regular in our house 👌👌

[@V13-u1c]

Your reaction to the taste test was great! Thank you for the recipe~ Looks scrumptious! 🌻

[@chuckgonerawvegan]

I made this just now... I used red potatoes, I left the skin on, personal preference, and I omitted the turmeric, since they were red potatoes... I was hesitant to use the immersion blender, but I did, and I will be using the emersion blender for this from now on... It wasn't as pretty as yours, but it was delicious... Thanks for the video... : )

[@cookingwithplants]

Fantastic! So glad you tried it and like it :-) x

[@MalMilligan]

Fantastic !! Those mashed potatoes looked great with a wonderful creamy texture. As a kid I was taught that there was too much starch in the water to use it after the cooking was done. You are quite right, that water is good for a veggie soup stock the next day. I have lots of organic frozen vegetables now that it's cold in my area, and I can throw some into that stock... maybe add some curry or cloves or whatever and it's another nice healthy meal.

[@donnale3881]

I've never used these spices in mashed potatoes, but certainly want to try something new. I don't think I've ever met a potato that I didn't like 😋 thanks for sharing!

Add a few lemon slices to the water, keeps them bright and really adds a nice flavor. Looks great.

Best vegan mashed potatoes I ever made : Sprouted silken tofu, nutrional yeast, salt, pepper, one raw garlic clove, vegan chicken bullion cube blended in a blender then add to steamed potatoes and mash with a hand masher add almond milk for smoother texture if desired. No fat, all, taste...but this seems way more economical. I am going to try this!

[@MihaelaV68]

What a great tip to keep potato so fresh, thank you so much & thank you for the great recipe !!🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@svenv8042]

After peeling vegetables or potatoes, you can keep them for a day in a container with fresh water. When for some reason, you want to keep to them a day or 2 longer, please change the water every day to avoid food poisoning. The same counts for tofu.

Looks good. To preserve as much vitamin c l would scrub rather than peel. I think soaking for a long time would leech out the vitamins but glad to see the water was re used/saved. Never though of using the immersion mixer. Must try this.

[@xflyingtiger]

We make our potatoes very much like this video. But when we boil our potatoes, we add a fair amount of cauliflower. The Cauliflower blends very nicely when you whip the potatoes, and it adds a nice fluffy mash. The flavor, in my view, is very nice indeed. But it's really hard to make bad mashed potatoes. Thank you for this video.

[@evelynbaron2004]

greetings from Canada to Australia! Rutabega is a member of the turnip family I think and actually does need to be hacked into manageable pieces -- I never peel potatoes -- this is just a Canadian recipe that really works; chop up rutabaga and with minimum of veg stock or water ignore it on low heat. I use a bit of miso paste; don't go nuts over herbs at that point, but certainly whatever you wish. When liquid has evaporated potato masher is all you need; freshly ground black pepper and I use a bit of either olive oil or cashew butter; pinch of lemon juice, sounds complicated but absolutely not. The slow cooking keeps in the nutrients and flavour and it's wonderful with caramelized onions. There's a restaurant in my country which adds some cheddar cheese -- don't notice its absence ever. Tx for great video!.

What a brilliant idea, pre-peeling and cutting the potatoes and storing them in a container like that with water. I wonder if I can convince my SAD (Standard American Diet) family of this type of mashed potatoes for the Christmas dinner this year. I would however use a hand masher I like having the potatoes somewhat intact not fully creamed like that.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Yum. Thanks for showing your great recipe. Sounds like lots of flavor w/o any dairy. I'll try it w/o the salt and see how it works. Also I think I'll try an ordinary masher to keep it a little more rough. Thanks again. I've been wondering how to make mashed potatoes w/o dairy.

All that vitamin C dissolved into the water! It's a good trick in restaurants to store prepped spuds in water, but they are not for one person's daily meals. At home it's better to peel vegetables as near to cooking as possible. This is because the home kitchen is the main source of daily nutrition.

[@cookingwithplants]

Fresh is always best... but this tip is for busy people that would otherwise opt for processed junk food. So it's still a step above that.
