Do you peel potato's before mashing? 12:10 - Feb 24 with 6615 viewsPecker

When making mashed potato, I never peel the potato's. Boil potato's, lightly mash before adding big lump of butter, splash of milk, salt & pepper. Continue to mash until reasonably smooth. The skins add a lovely texture. I am guess 99.9% of you do this already, but just checking I am doing it right.

That's hippy-style mash, buh. The added roughage is probably good for your guts, but I always peel mine.

You are the man for raising important subjects like this. Keep up the good work.

I would never try such shady tactics with you and your beautiful lady, dear boy.

By the way, I appreciate the subtle purposeful mispelling of potatoes with a greengrocer's apostrophe. Very droll.

bake, remove skins, mash.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

That method is preferable only if making gnocchi. Boiling is absolutely fine for mash, not to mention quicker.

And yes, milk (or cream), butter*, salt and pepper. Also mustard/horseradish.

*No, you can't use marge.

Posh is overrated. I prefer being working class. I would hate to be scared of being corrected or wrong. I will continue to make mistakes and please feel free to point out my mistakes. I never take it to heart. You should try them unpeeled though.

Potato ricer is where we're at in my establishment. Then back in pan with butter, salt and pepper to mix.

Perfect smooth mash every time. Peeled, obviously.
