Mm that chicken would be good with mashed potatoes I might try that. Crock pot pork is really yummy too, I love making pulled pork
How do you guys make mashed potatoes?
duck fat is the king lard.. I make whole chickens with duck fat on it
duck fat in mashed potatoes = nuts
I want to get some duck fat, seems expensive as hell tho.
Is it?
you can get it for like 6$ a 'jar'
I've seen it for way more though
Oh so like ghee?
Also, I cna't emphasize this enough, SAVE YOUR BACON DRIPPINGS.
It makes a wonderful egg grease.
sorta.. it's more like chicken fat but much richer
yeah when I make chickens I use the fat to make rice in rice cooker.. I add fat to the water and rice
Now I'm going to give you guys a badass mashed potato recipe, because my mother's mashed potatoes ahve essentially ruined all other mashed potatoes because I love them so much.
It's a lot of eyeballing
but
it goes, cutting peeled potatoes into manageable chunks,
boiling those chunks
(until soft)
drain the water in the sink
then, put the potatoes back in the now empty boiling pot,
add a sufficient amount of butter
begin to mash lightly
then add a sufficient amount of milk.
Begin to mash them vigorously until either whipped or into a paste.
Also,
after you finish boiling the chunks I forgot to say you need to add salt and pepper.
I like to make my potatoes a little extra peppery, lol. Thats pretty much how I make mine too, but I use the hand mixer after mashing to get them a little fluffier
yeah that's how I do my mash mostly.. I've experimented with other spices also.. and duck fat instead of butter
also I like mashed potatoes with skins still in it
*Use bacon grease in your eggs*
I like mashed new potatoes.
Good shit if you know what you're doing.
I've also used like those fancy colored potatoes like the purple ones
or mixing half sweet potato with normal
or partial turnip.. or carrot
YEah
New Potatoes
sweet potato is my fav
the purple and yellowish ones.
