I think I’d prefer to eat potatoes in any form rather than mashed potatoes (oven roasted, french fries, tater tots, boiled, baked, etc etc etc)..they’re just so mushy and liquidy and bland and gross. Even when they have chunks of potato in them, they’re just gross.

With milk, butter and nutmeg?

You don’t want potato in your potato?
Mashed potatoes, when done right, is a dish straight out of heaven. The soft, pillowy, buttery starchy goodness.

I find it hard to believe that you’ve ever had half-decent mashed potatoes. Not liking them is valid, but your description sounds completely inaccurate. Liquidy? They should never be liquidy unless either they are made with far too much milk and/or not mixed well. Bland? Mashed potatoes should always be less bland than most others preparations of potato, as a base, because making them requires flavor enhancing ingredients (milk and butter), unless you’re eating just cooked potato mashed up with none of the typical ingredients. plus you can add any seasonings you want, salt pepper, garlic, cheese, etc.
I guess it really depends on how you make it because I boil potato, sweet potato and onion together then mash it with milk and butter, add seasoning and stir in Italian sausage. If I’m feeling healthy, I’ll add cauliflower or broccoli when I boil too.
Wrong.
Tater tots are by far the worst.
If they are liquidy and bland then they have been made wrong.
i love mashed potatoes tho… it used to be my “sick food” my meals would be mash potatoes whenever I’m sick. Now I eat it anytime I can🤤
Prefer a crispy potato any day.
Mash, bread and butter sandwich, can NOT be beaten
Sounds like your family makes crap mashed potatoes
Scallop potatoes joined the chat. The texture is terrible.
You need more butter!
Not just any butter, French butter.
Then you follow a recipe like Joel Robuchons and you’ll swear these potatoes are sent from heaven lol
Spoken like someone who’s never had good mashed potatoes. Steamed are the worst ones.
Maybe your family makes bad mashed potatoes?
The ones I make and that my parents always made are definitely not liquidy or bland
I personally think the scalloped kind are the worst. Barf.
Liquidy? What fucking mashed potatoes are you eating?
Opinion as posted: “Mashed potatoes are the worst form of potato”
Actual opinion you have: “I don’t like mashed potatoes”
Food based opinions are almost always just taste/preferences….the most boring of unpopular opinions.
In a world where boiled potatoes exist, this is clearly a wrong, not unpopular opinion
Finally somebody with some sense.
the one upvote..thank you
“I don’t like some food that other people like”
Who cares? What’s wrong with people in this sub?
