What do you put in your mash?

[~BEXTER~]

I know you do butter and milk.

But I like to do other combos.

Tonight I put sour cream and sweet chilli sauce in it.

Other nights I do cheese, garlic, herbs, sometimes onion and mushroom.

So I am wondering what other people use for a change.

[StrawberryTheMilkshake]

Im so boring. Milk and butter.

LOL! The less effort the better i spose!

[Myztik]

finely diced onion, bacon and cheese :)

[Ellads]

I hide cauliflower in there, nobody knows Shhhhh!:thumbsup:

[Myztik]

good thinking! Will have to try that one.

[Mathermy]

the other night I just popped some dollop cream in there becoz that was what was in the fridge, rave reviews :D

[xlouxloux]

Milk, butter and a lil bit of pepper. Sometimes a handful of cheese then put it in a baking dish with some more cheese on top mmmm.
My friends dad used to put sour cream in, tasted quite nice

Myztik - urs sounds delish, will def have to try it! mmmm

[~BEXTER~]

MMM I think I will have to try the bacon, onion and cheese:D

my aunty used to put pumpkin or sweet potato in the mash so her kids would eat more vegies. She told them the reason the mash "potato" was a yellow-orange colour was just the cheese she added. and they ate it all up!

[TripleTime]

If i did the cooking i could tell you but i dont. I do know that DF as a thing with adding stinky cheese & garlic.

Tee hee... there was a thread in teh recipe section on this:http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=273209

I don't bother peeling, so mine are a little more "rustic", and I usually grate in some nutmeg, then milk and butter.

[chameleon]

We put in butter, cream and cream cheese.

[Poppetfish]

I use those yummy herb cream cheeses. I buy them when they are close to their use by date and freeze them in portions, then add them to my mash.

My mash is also a multi-veg mash (don't tell my DH). It had normal potato, sweet potato(i also say it is yellow from the cheese....lol) and cauliflower.

Sometimes if i want something different, i will add crushed pineapple, diced bacon and sour cream.

DS's mash i make with flavored oils. He like artichoke and basil oil the best at the moment.:)

[lavenderpegasus]

I sometimes cook my potato in chicken stock, and then add just butter.


It is delish!!!

Otherwise I add sour cream/cream/cottage cheese depending how excited I'm getting.

[Myztiks#1Fan]

i only do milk and butter and sometimes i put in a bit of pumpkin.

[Boobycino]

Normally milk and butter.

Sometimes garlic.

Sometimes cheese.

Sour cream if its in the fridge.

But, normally I'm pretty boring!

I sneak vegitables into foods on my DP too!

[delirium]

I usually use butter, cream and salt. Not overly healthy but very yummy. Sometimes I'll finely chop some raw onion for DH and I.

[StrawberryTheMilkshake]

what kind of measurements would i put in if i was going to put in:

- garlic
- bacon
- cheese
- onion.

is it to taste?

[hailsntwang]

Just Butter, Milk, Salt and Pepper.

If I put anything else in it DH won't eat it:rolleyes:

[StrawberryTheMilkshake]

Just like kids huh Hails!

I love sweet potato mashed but DH wont. Such a child. Just eat the bl00dy vegies!

[Damamma]

what kind of measurements would i put in if i was going to put in:

- garlic
- bacon
- cheese
- onion.

When I make mine like this, I usually just do normal mash, substitute the butter for garlic butter and add bacon, onion and cheese to taste.

[StrawberryTheMilkshake]

The only thing is that im really heavy handed when it comes to the butter.... so i think the garlic butter would be too overpowering..... what if i did a half/ half thing

[~BEXTER~]

I use garlic powder.

I put enough in just to taste, still want to be able to taste the mash.

[Lipsmacker01]

Before we had kids I'd put a little dijon mustard in it...dont need to add too much just tastes really different. Had it at a restaurant once and thought I would try it at home.

Before I got married mum used to do a great mash with potatoes....brocolli and carrot!

Most of the time now I just do the unsalted butter, milk, pepper and normal pototoes but sometimes I like to use sweet potatoes to be a bit different. DH says they cook faster too! have a rougher texture. Adds nice orange colour to dinner plate I like it with fish meals. I only sprinkle salt on mine at the table. Used to add sprinkle of jar of chives if i had the fresh stuff home grown would add that yum :)

Last time i had mash at a pub however it was dripping with butter! not healthy but tasted really yum
