    I have experimented with mashed potatoes for the majority of my 47 years. It is one of the only things I make that I am extremely confident of. Mine are simple boiled potato, heavy cream and butter, salt and white pepper, barely mashed with a standard masher, as few mashes and turns as possible. I will have to try these methods in the future, and maybe take parts of them and implement them, but I'd love to have you over to try my version sometime.

      It wasn’t until I went to college and was being offered instant whipped potatoes served from multi gallon batches that I came to fully appreciate lumpy mashed potatoes… because that meant they were “real” mashed potatoes.
      Cooking in a nursing home, I did learn how to make instant mashed potatoes taste taste better though, use whole milk and some butter instead of water.

      I'm with you on this one. Barely mashed, fluffy, nothing that would run or drip. One compromise I will make is to mash with only butter, salt, b. pep. Then, once the butter is absorbed into the little "lumps" do I add the liquid and fold it in. I find this way you get little butter bursts as you eat the mash. This works well with the ricer too, very uniform texture but still a mix of small lumps in a homogeneous background. Fold once with butter and seasoning, then again with milk.

    First, let me say I love your videos and I've learned so much from you. Your rosemary salt is amazing. If you know you know. I did your Michelin star mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and they were amazing. Though it was a lot of work. I made a hack that cuts about 80% of the workout but leaves 95% of the flavor. Boil the potatoes whole. Cut them in half and when you rice them, potatoe flesh side down, then you don't have to skin them. Then put them back on the heat. Add the cream, add the butter. Put them through a tami and you're good to go! These were amazing and less work. Thanks again for these great videos. Keep them coming and happy holidays!

      That's not Michelin star though because although barely any gets through, some of the skin ends up in the potatoes, albeit barely any, but some.
      That being said. At home that's what I do lol. But for special special occasions I will peel first and I cooked for a long time so food prep barely takes me any time.

    There's the classic potato chip version: Make your potatoes as you see fit. But instead of milk/cream/butter, use sour cream and butter and then add minced raw shallot to the mash while it's still hot. The heat will mellow the shallot a bit but still leave the crunchy texture and the tanginess of the sour cream is a perfect match for the sharpness of the shallot.

    I eaten the Michelin potatoes at the restaurant and recreated them at home, and by far they are the best potatoes that I have ever had. I did this for a dinner party and 10 out of 10 people agreed with me. I served them with A5 Japanese Kobe Wagyu steaks, and most of the dinner party talked about the mashed potatoes over the wagyu. No one could believe they were eating just mashed potatoes.
    I actually haven't made them since, because it was so time consuming to create them.

    Just a little chef tip for the methods, where you boil the potatoes. Don't add salt. It actually alters their texture. Makes them harder. Add it to the mash instead. It will make the mash fluffier and smoother. But yes. Number 3 is the way to go for the best mash. Although health wise use less butter if you make it often.

Jerry, who even at 10 complained often about his mother's cooking, brought in her mashed potatoes to test as a glue. They won, even over super glue.

    Mashed potatoes are just about the only vegetable that ever tempts me anymore. Fluffy steak fries, too
    These all look tasty, but of the many mashed potatoes I've had over the years, my Grandmom's has been head and shoulders above all of them. One of the worsts was for a very expensive anniversary dinner and I was shocked the chef allowed them to be served. Her mashed preference was russets cooked diced like you did, but with the peeling on usually. She'd remove them while piping hot. That burned, but she had hands of steel. As an older teen, I'd peel them first when put in charge. I think leaving it on added to the flavor, but not enough that I'd do so. Canned evaporated milk, a ton of butter, salt, pepper, and a hand mixer. I know I'll get comments about gummy potatoes, but hers were always perfectly smooth, creamy, fluffy masterpieces. Mine have been as long as I stick to her procedures. Anytime I tried changing it up on the milk product or using less butter, the results weren't as stellar and the texture would be different. I don't know what it is about evaporated milk, but that's where it's at with potatoes.
    I've tried the same procedure with Yukon, baby red new (peel on though),purple, and a few I don't know what they're called. Just not sweet because I hate sweet potatoes. Even tried it with parsnips. I do like mashed parsnips, but the russets beat all of them hands down when it comes to mashed in my preference and I prefer the hand mixture texture over others unless wanting the chunkier skin on style of a mashed new potatoes. Your second version would be scrumptious with an added egg, cheese if desired, and then baked like for Sheppard's Pie. Yummo! For both roasted and fried, I prefer the new, Yukon, or some of the various heirloom varieties I've tried. All depends upon the herb seasonings I'd add. While I prefer to have a little crisp on my roasted or scalloped potatoes, many years ago for no dirty pans nights I'd make individual foil packets of chopped new potatoes, sliced onion (either red or Vidalia depending upon the mood), cubed steak, whole garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, salt, pepper, olive oil to coat, and a healthy pad of butter. The smell when we'd open the pierced foil pockets was mouth watering. It was so tasty, we ended up having that as a go to camping dish, too. I've wondered if today's me would enjoy it as much as the other me since I've my palate has definitely developed considerably since those days.
    I don't know if it's you or Rick Bayless that tempts me into considering eating other than animal products more often. You guys run pretty head to head. Most food channels I watch, while I admittedly enjoy and think that what they're cooking would likely be very delicious, they don't really tempt me at all. Occasionally it will happen. You guys tempt me more often than you don't. There's also a cacao guy. Big compliment to you. Thanks for making sure your passion and appreciation of the food is always high on your ingredients list. It's what keeps me coming back even though I know I won't be cooking the majority of what you make. I'd absolutely love to see how you might prepare any variety of animal based dishes. Spices and herbs allowed, though preferably at a minimum. I have no doubt you could elevate them, and if you were able to make organ meats palatable or show how to make English sausage, blood sausage, any sausage other than breakfast sausage, or a variety of fish while still only using the animal products and some seasonings if wanted, man that'd be awesome. Or if you figured up some mix of animal products that took us lepiivore/carnivore to a whole new world of animal based eating, that's surely ensure your lead in the Tasty Tasty ranks. I say that for purely selfish reasons, of coarse. I'm quite happy and look forward to what I normally eat. It's delicious, affordable, and easy. To have something unexpected would be quite the treat though, and I firmly believe you're a chef who could come up with a dynamic flavor and texture bomb that's completely unexpected. I think your refrigerator might even be taunting you to! 🤪 Thank you for all the potatoes pleasure. 😺🦋

    So I made the last one for Thanksgiving this year and learned a few lessons.
    1. A standard ricer is made to work with a really soft boiled potato. A dense baked red potato takes more effort and I ended up breaking my ricer. It wasn't a cheap one either.
    2. I needed more cream to get the same consistency as in the video.
    3. It takes forever to run them through a sieve. For a large Thanksgiving dinner it took hours.
    4. Most importantly, do NOT heat the final product over the stove before serving - or at least be very gentle about it. The butter that you so delicately folded into the potatoes starts to come out and separate. Now you are left trying to skim as much possible, and still, people are commenting about all the oily butter on the surface of your mash potatoes. Damn it.

      I think each chef has a style that best suits them. One chef may achieve better results with more complex techniques/recipes, while another may achieve better results keeping it simple. All comes down to what you enjoy doing the most. Sonny had an example for everything here which was good. Very simple, something a bit more elevated & then something almost unreasonably complicated/unhealthy hahaha. At the end of the day you’re drawn to what you’re drawn to & if you’re enjoying the recipe while doing it, the food will likely taste good in the end.

Anyways, keep the great video's coming, love the whole show and the recipes are terrific.
