If you hate mashed potatoes, then which kinds of potatoes do you not hate? I’m fascinated that somebody hates mashed potatoes. I can understand preferring baked fried boiled raw salad or another iteration of potato more than mashed; but to hate mashed potatoes???? Oh wow!

I don't eat many potatoes but I do like several fried versions -- tots, frites, pommes souffle.

Wow, those were fantastic and near impossible to find.) We were making smashed potatoes this summer and those are pretty good, too.
I love most sweet potato preparations, including mashed. |

Leftover Thanksgiving dinner tonight, which is roast chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, giblet gravy, green beans, and good old Ocean Spray jellied cranberry sauce. The chicken carcass and drumsticks have been stripped of meat for chicken enchiladas tomorrow, and the carcass is now simmering into broth which will be concentrated and frozen for future use.

Is it the texture? You obviously don't hate the taste of potatoes. What about a baked potato with all the goodies on top (sour cream, chives, bacon bits etc). |
I am missing one the favorite parts of a Thanksgiving dinner....making a mashed potato volcano. I don't have gravy because I didn't cook a turkey but when I do....nothing like making a mound of mashed potatoes and a big well in the center --put in butter and then pour gravy in the well until it overflows like a volcano. Sigh.

I never met a potato I didn't like.

I generally find microwave rather than oven reheating leads to better flavor and less dryness (using a mw cover especially). Of course if you want crispy in reheated food (eg fried chicken, pizza, green onion pancake) either a toaster oven or air fryer ;)

The online recipe I found for rehearing both mashed potatoes and turkey suggested 350 at 30min with some added liquids. All remained delicious :-)
even the moist stuffing retained its moisture. |
