      @@hypotheticaltapeworm To be fair, he even implied it himself regarding making them more quickly rather than better by nature.
      While "best" is absolutely subjective, if you've ever had mashed potatoes that have been through a mesh, you can absolutely tell a difference; it's a chef-y *only* thing, an extra & exhaustive step for an inescapable texture upgrade. To that end, I'm not sure many of us would actually notice much difference between these "best ever" potatoes & the vast majority of recipes out there, but I sincerely guarantee you'd notice a mesh-filtered mash. It's why I try my best to never use the word "best" this way outright, for what it's worth.

    Thank you for validating the difference between a "mashed" potato vs. a "pureed " potato. When cooking, a puree is something you want a little portion of, a flavor to interact with your dish. A mashed potato stands alone to accompany your protein or "star" of your dish.

    Quick tip: With some of the leftover potato skin, heat it up with the cream (or milk, I use milk since you don't get as bloated as one does with cream) and some thyme or rosemary, if you prefer that. It will add a lot more potato flavor to the mash, then just sieve the skin out. As for the butter, I stick it in the mash in room temperature, there's less risk of "breaking" the mash that way. Try it out!
    Other flavorings that can raise your mash are; garlic (raw or roasted), black or white pepper, nutmeg.

    Good video! From the Netherlands here and although we don't have a rich culinairy history, we do make a lot of hotchpotches where we use mashed potatoes. I think the name hotchpotch comes from the Dutch word 'hutspot'. Hutspot is a typical kind of hotchpotch, containing potatoes, carrots and onions and then mashed, dating back to 1574 when the Spanish army sieged the city of Leiden. Hotchpotches are made a lot here and we make it with kale, sauerkraut, raw andive, Brussels sprouts, brown beans and of course carrot and onoin. Most of the hotchpoches contain cubes of baked bacon or pork belly and a smoked sausage. So when we are talking about mashed potatoes, the most important part of a hotchpotch, I think I can say this is a big thing in the Dutch heritage. Keeping the potatoes larger so they absorb less water is a pro tip, like letting the potatoes steam out, very important. After mashing adding the butter for creaminess but just butter will make it like cement so you need milk or cream. Depending how you use the mashed potatoes, I personally season it afterwards, so I don't use salt while boiling the potatoes since it will be a homogeneous substance. If I add baked pork belly, it will be salted by it and I season it by taste. I love it that you make lumpy mashed potatoes so you have little chunks of potato left in it. I don't particulary like the potato puree, a little 'bite' is what I prefer. Altogether, a great video!

    The crickets was a nice touch! Made me laugh, anyway. I'm going to do mashed potatoes tonight (again), with bigger chunks. From some of the comments, I'm going to try adding nutmeg. I often add chives, never tried egg yolk, but I think it should improve shepherd's/cottage pie. Gotta agree with some, fried leftover mashed potato is delicious! I often mix sweet potato with white potato in a mash.

    One of the best things I've learned from watching Epi and Frank is that you want to season the water you boil stuff in. Sure, you can add salt after, but then it's granular and poorly distributed. If you add it to the boil, then it saturates it with just the right amount of salty flavor.

    A great recipe. That's pretty much exactly how I make mine. I always make mine by hand. Personally, I wouldn't use as much butter, and I like a nice floury potato, I use White potatoes, but that's the beauty of cooking. You can make it how you like it. Top tip though. Don't be afraid to make extra. It'll keep fine in the fridge and can be used to make some gorgeous potato cakes or colcannon/ bubble and squeak for a hearty breakfast the day after. 😀

    Great recipe. Honestly, I do one really similarly, but I don't peel my potatoes and I cut the big ones into thirds rather than halves. Gives a bit more of the earthy potato flavor that really balances out the butter/cream, and adding a little sauteed garlic to the mix is great too.
