Taters, potatoes, spuds, ground apples…whatever you know these tasty tubers as, don’t call them the native crop of the Irish, because you’d be wrong. Potatoes originate from South America, in the area around what is now Peru, and they are one of the most widely consumed vegetables on the planet. Their starch and fiber content make them a nutritious food, well-adapted to the human diet. Couple that with the fact that potatoes can survive climate changes that would kill off less hearty crops, and you have a staple food that has been used in thousands of recipes, and cooked in as many ways as man can devise.
In these free cooking classes on video, learn how to make a delicious and simple recipe for homemade mashed potatoes. Our expert will guide you through the process with step-by-step instructions. Learn how to cut, boil, and mash the potatoes, how to chop onions, seasoning tips, how much butter, sour cream, and cream cheese to add, and how to serve the dish. Mashed potatoes go great with heavy foods like meatloaf or fried chicken. So the next time you’re doing some real down home cooking, whip up a batch of these spuds. Your taste buds will thank you.
