Man, I make killer mashed potatoes, per S's thoughts anyway.
Couple of the smaller white potatoes, chunked, skin on, boiled until soft.
Sautee one or two green onions (sliced), three cloves of roasted garlic (minced or sliced), in 1 t of EVOO.
Blend potatoes with a hand mixer and three blops of whole milk until chunky.
stir in the onion/garlic mix, and a big handful of grated cheese of choice, dump in cracked pepper, kosher salt and assorted herbs as desired.
Add a healthy squirt of sriracha (but not too much or the potatoes turn an odd, unappetizing shade of pinky-orange).
Mush around without breaking up the lumps too much and serve hot.
needless to say, my lactose intolerant self doesn't eat these.
But I'll eat potatoes in any milk-less form.
My favorite Irish pub actually takes their homemade corned beef and chops it with diced potatoes and onions and cooks it in a pan until the potatoes are browned to make their own corned beef hash. It's my favorite way to eat potatoes these days.
