Do you prefer potatoes mashed with a potato masher or whipped with an electric mixer?

Don't care for mashed, smashed or whipped. Baked in a the skin that's baked to a crisp! That's the only way!

Of course a French fry.

Is there anybody who doesn't like a good French fry? Hands up please--inquiring minds want to know. That's why I'm chiming in here! LOL!!!

I don't care for mashed or whipped potatoes, I would rather have roasted.

@Sooner,

I actually have to be in the mood for french fries and they have to be well done and crispy.

I love mashed potatoes,my favorite anytime but never whipped.

My mother is like you-baked,fr fries,any kind but mashed.

So weird!😄

I like potatoes in any way, shape or form.......as long as there's lots of butter involved! (Except, no butter on the french fries!)

I prefer mashed with some skin left on if eating them plain, but if gravy is involved, better whip ‘em. The latter only happens once or twice a year.

I always mash my potatoes first, then whip them if serving with gravy.

I also mash them with sour cream, cheese, crumbeled bacon and parsley. I leave them lumpy and with skins on.

I like than both ways.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter.

I prefer whole grain brown rice or baked sweet potatoes. White potatoes are less healthy, IMO.

As long as a potato isn't covered in cheese, or sour cream, I like it. I use a mixer when I mash potatoes, but do not overwhip. I like to see visible lumps for gravy to cling to.

My late MIL overwhipped the potatoes until they looked like a vanilla milkshake; am sure you could've pulled them thru a straw, which I did not like at all.

@On It Whipped with butter, salt and hot milk. You have to be careful not to over mix, otherwise it turns into a gloppy mess. Did you know you can keep whipped potatoes fluffy for 2 or 3 hours in a crockpot on warm? A co-worker of mine told me about this 5 years ago. Life changing!! It means I can do them at my leisure tomorrow morning! Yea!

Personally, I'm not a fan of the ones made with a mixer. IMO, it ruins them. I hand-mash and also leave the skin on. Lots of butter, some hard cheese, and s&p. Very tasty and there is some texture so they're not like baby food.

I love potatoes. Well, everything but potato salad. That's gross with the mayo and eggs in there. But I love mashers, fried, french fries, baked.

We call them Mashed potatoes but they are actually Whipped.
