My family is all German, and we did this a lot. Sausage or pork, then a pile of sauerkraut and a pile of mashed potatoes. As a kid I'd mix the sauerkraut with the potatoes and a lot of butter. Friend of mine who was born and raised in Germany said he thinks it is a regional thing somewhat, but I couldn't say.

My mom used to make that kind of stuff all the time. Some kind of sausage or hot dog, sauerkraut and any kind of potato. I liked it with hash browns the best. I ate mine with lots of sour cream and pepper.

You know, now that I think about it, most of the time what I call mashed potatoes are really whipped, I guess. I tried actually using a hand-masher once, and fuck that noise. That fucking masher got tossed in the trash and I went back to using a mixer. Butter and milk/cream, OH YASSSSS

Bros, for real. Food mill. I am a goddamn lethal mashed potato maker. Yukon gold, ton of butter, salt and pepper, chicken stock. That is all that is necessary. Best 30 bucks or so I ever spent. Works really well for sweet potatoes as well, makes them so they aren't stringy like they can be.

Guess I'm the only old school idiot. I still use the potato masher I inherited from my great grandmother and she probably got it as a wedding gift.

That requires like manual labor and shit, aint nobody got time for that. Russet potatoes, heavy cream, salted butter, roasted garlic and rosemary. Whipped potatoes is all about the starch, it is known.

Nope, we still use a potato masher at our house as well, which I guess makes my wife the idiot.

I prefer mashed potatoes to whipped potatoes, but I like chunks and bits of potato in the mixture instead of just potato puree.

Skins off, no chunks. Chunky texture ruins potatoes for me, thus my grandmother's masher chilling in a drawer somewhere.
