Re: Mashed or Whipped Potatoes?

This post made me smile....thinking about my mother. She always called them "whipped potatoes", yet she always used her very old and well used potato masher, with a lot of butter and a little cream. I'm the opposite - I call them mashed potatoes, but I use my electric beater for just a minute or so. LOL!

Whipped, mashed and riced in that order.

I usually use a mixer but we still call them mashed potatoes.

I like them whipped, but especially like the mashed potato casserole with cream cheese whipped in.  They are so easy to just make ahead and reheat.

Re: Mashed or Whipped Potatoes?

I have regularly only had whipped potatoes since I was 15.  I only had gravy at my grandmother's.

Most potatos were cooked with the green beans.  I don't think we had baked potatoes.  I was a child of the 1950's.
