I totally said that. I have never heard anyone put their mashed taters in a blender.

I personally need lumps in my mashed potatoes. I need that texture. Otherwise it starts to turn my stomach.

Fr! I only blend potatoeswhen making potato soup

[@ATribeCalledJoyce]

Noted, I made two versions but I lost my potato river

[@connormoorehead1872]

@Christine C. that's fair, another thing you can do if you need a little more texture is add some of those crispy fried onions and some diced up chives for garnish. Or serve it with some foods with textural difference

Y’all do NOT put potatoes in your blender It changes the consistency to gloopy glue. Thank God, Joyce’s blender broke!

Thank you .!!! She always so critical too .. I love her commentary

[@fitandfinallyfree]

Never use a blender or an immersion blender when making mashed potatoes. It makes them gluey and starchy. It's food science. Potato masher or ricer only.

Sour cream is good in mashed potatoes. I used to work in a hospital cafe and the company used instant mashed potatoes for patient meals. I'd stir in a little bit of sour cream and I'd always get compliments like I made it from scratch.
