Mine: no milk or butter, just straight hot water.

Cheese is delicious in mash, so is a spoon of wholegrain mustard or some finely chopped spring onions.

Milk, Butter, salt and pepper, mulch em with the masher then finish em with a fork.

Sometimes add some finely chopped onion

David, this could be crying out for a thread split. ways to cook spuds.

Mexican potatoes are yum, as is real hash browns cooked on a hotplate in a US diner

Mexican potatoes with Huevos rancheros washed down with a drip filter coffee and a Bloody mary is the breakfast of the gods.

As for potatoes, I really fell for Locro de Papa, an Ecuadorian potato based soup, when I was in South America earlier this year. It's great...heaps of potatoes, a good amount of cheese, coriander, onion, cumin etc etc (just google the recipe - there are plenty of versions available)
Cook it up and chop up an avocado and float it on top.
I've had a go at cooking it a few times since I've been back, and while not as good as what I had over there, I'm getting better at it.
Highly recommended.

Our yummy mashed tatties

Couple of tablespoons of butter, around 1/2 cup light sour cream, couple of minced garlic cloves, some chives, some grated Parmesan and cracked black pepper - num num!

My mashed spuds are like Stui's. I might add some chopped parsley: spuds, butter, salt, pepper, and use a knife to slice it through then mash with masher. Add some milk then mix it together with a spoon. Sometimes I'll mix it with some pumpkin or sweet potato.

I try to keep it neutral as the ratatouille is flavoured with onion and basil etc. and that's the time I usually make mashed spuds while not making to too fattening.

David, Water? seriously?

[Bruce Gonsalves]

I always heat the milk and butter before adding to the spuds.
