Do you prefer mashed or whipped potatoes? My husband and I debate this all the time. I like mashed, because I like the chunks and having something to bite into instead of just letting it slide down my throat. He likes whipped because he doesn't like to chew!! I'm not joking the man inhales his food and chewing just slows him down!

Smashed potatoes? Is that sort of like whipped only using the potato masher to smash the lumps out of them? LOL

I have major issues with texture in my food so I definitely prefer them whipped, I however do not eat them any faster than I do when they are mashed.

My husband has major issues with food textures too! That's why he also prefers whipped over mashed.

I definitetly prefer mashed potatoes. I like so have a bit to chew. I can't stand instant potatoes because there are no lumps at all (plus the flavor isn't as good). I usually mash mine corsely with some milk, butter and a dash of garlic or chives for extra flavor.

I've used chives too ... try it with sour cream some time! Yummy!

I prefer mashed potatoes over whipped. If I'm going to have whipped potatoes I might as well save myself a lot of time and work and make instant potatoes. I also like smashed potatoes where they are even chunkier than mashed potatoes.

For me it is Mashed Potato.... YUM!! I make mine by boiling the potatoes then mashing them with Butter, Milk & Onion Salt.... YUMMY :) Sometimes I cut up onion instead of using the onion salt and that makes it more chunky if that is what you like... Hmmm might have to make some tonight now!!!

My husband and I were just talking about adding onions to them! I've used ranch dressing packets in the past with butter and milk and then melted cheddar cheese over the top and they were delicious!

I hate instant potatoes!!! I always ask at resturants if they have real or instant potatoes before I order them. My dad used to do the same thing!

I mash my potators with milk and butter. My mashed potatos aren't lumpy though so there is nothing to chew you can just swallow them if you like.
I really liked baked potaots with melted butter or melted cheese though too.
