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

use a strainer,

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.

My favorite are yukon gold potatoes

You got russets
