Mashed Potatoes -- Something missing?
I made a country dinner tonight for Magpie and I. Breaded drumsticks and mashed potatoes.
The drumsticks turned out good. The mashed potatoes did too, I suppose. My problem is that I don't do mashed potatoes often enough to really have a recipe for them -- I just mash them and throw a couple things in the bowl. Tonight it was milk (naturally), parsley and crushed garlic. They turned out well enough, but when I tasted them I felt like they were missing something and I couldn't quite peg it.
So I turn to the true experts on TFP. What do you put in your mashed potatoes?
