Easy Microwave Mashed Potato Recipe for Cluster Meetings

[cewcooks]

Its hard for me to go to cluster meetings and I was wondering if anyone has done a recipe for mashed potatoes in the batter bowl and cooked it in the microwave, what exactly did you do and what words did u use at your shows.

I've done mashed potatoes in the batter bowl at home many times, but not at a show. I just cut up the potatoes, put in a bit of milk (didn't measure), cooked til they were done (sometimes the milk runneth over, so don't use too much), mashed, then added butter and salt.

PC needs to come out with a Potato Ricer - Perfect mashed potatoes (Ok, perfact riced potatoes) every time. Plus just like our garlic press, you don't have to peel the potatos before ricing them.

They did - it's part of the cookie press. From what I've heard, it works great. I prefer mashed over riced, so I haven't tried it.

So much to learn, young David. We will teach you.

The same people that think Chili and Cornbread are "Mexican".

Actually - that was my thought too.

I just said, that's like saying "We make a Garlic Press but it also juices limes."

I tried ricing the potatoes in the cookie press with the ricer attachment, it took FOREVER!!! And my hands got hot.

I do my mashed potatoes in the deep covered baker with the lid on, I cut up the poatatoes, add a little chicken broth and fat free 1/2 & 1/2 put the lid on. I usually stir about half way. I then add butter, salt and pepper and use the mix n chop to mash them. I use red potatoes with thinner skins so I don't even peel them.

As a selling point, I say it is perfect for those family dinners. It frees up a burner on the stove, and you can serve right from the DCB which keeps the potatoes warm throughout dinner!! Usually at our house, the potatoes are the first to get cold otherwise.

You have the old Cookie Press then, can't do potatoes in it anyway.

Well as a fortune cooking might say: A cookie press does not a potato ricer make. Sounds to me like it probably looked better on paper than in reality. That's just my opinion.

Here's a great tip - some of you might already know this - but when you are making mashed potatoes, and you want to make garlic mashed potatoes, instead of adding the garlic at the end when mashing them, add it to the water when cooking them. Just press in as much garlic as you want into the water. Your Garlic Mashed Potatoes will have a mellow, sweet, garlicky flavor that will have people begging for your "recipe"! :chef:
