Ok, I admit it, my mashed potatoes/potato puree is lumpy!

I agree I love my mash potatoes lumpy with lots of butter and salt. If you want a Recipe for Mashed Potatoes try this: INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 Tbsp heavy cream 2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp milk Salt and Pepper A potato masher METHOD 1 Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done - a fork can easily be poked through them. 2 Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and pepper to taste. Serves 4.

Hi ya ElicBxn I guess you have a point there, haha Thanks for your response

Hey urbandekay You make all sound so simple haha Thanks

Yep it is covered if half mashed lumpy potato and that is making it stick! Beat it well and put lots of air into to it too, I don't cool that often butone thing I do do well ismy mash :) Off to the land of nodnow though ifI dream of sticky keyboards and mash Iwill blame you

Hi ya ellie The trouble is that I when I cook them really really well I find that I lose half of them when I drain them through the colander!! lol I was watching celebrity masterchef the other night and they were talking about how good and light the mash was adn I wondered how they make it like that, like I said, mine varies in degrees in lumpiness haha. You still got a sticky space bar ellie haha Thanks for responding

Hey there Shar19 Sometimes I use just butter, sometimes I use just milk and sometimes a use a bit of both haha never seem to get the lumps completely out though haha Thanks for your response

Hi ya sender621 I think the type of potato helps too like my friend once told me she tried to mash new potatoes!! Big no no that one. Thanks for your response

Hi there Laurelle11 Hmm I think that is because a mixer is different to a blender, I was so embarrassed when I did that because I still had serve them as they were part of the meal and I was working as a nanny at the time so the meal was for the kids and their father Thanks for responding

Hi ya peavey I don't like my mash with lumps not unless it is like big lumps and just mashed a bit but I want to get it smooth! Thanks for your response

Hi ya Hatley I have sometimes over cooked the potatoes to the point that they disappear down the drain as I strain the water off after boiling haha I am such a dunce in the kitchen for sure, I'm surprised my kids haven't starved by now haha Just kidding honest! Thanks for your help

Hi ya creative_genius I dunno, I seem to make the simplest of things hard to do haha Thanks

Hi apples Aww that would be great, thanks. Mum's usually make the best mash and I guess my boys probably think that mash is supposed to have a lumpy texture lol Thanks

Hi there artizan Oh I have added cream cheese too before and I agree it is yummy, also using garlic salt is nice instead of usual salt. I will try your method next time I mash my potatoes. Cheers
