slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/26 poll - Whipped vs Mashed Potatoes 🥔

[slo]

Thanksgiving is tomorrow for us Americans, which means we get to indulge in many of our favorites, and one of them is mashed potatoes. Growing up, I only had whipped mashed potatoes - my mom doesn’t make them any other way. I always liked them and never had an issue with them. Then I started dating my DH and mashed potatoes at his house and his parents mash the potatoes, and oh my, I fell in love with actual mashed potatoes. They are lumpier and thicker than whipped potatoes and they are so so so good. Here’s a little something about it….


My mom and MIL switch off every year with who makes the mashed potatoes and who makes the stuffing, and this year is my MIL’s year for mashed potatoes and I’m so excited. They hold my gravy so much better than my mom’s whipped potatoes, and it’s all about having nice firm walls for my gravy - LOL!

With all that being said….what’s your feelings about whipped vs mashed potatoes? Let’s find out….


What is your opinion of whipped and mashed potatoes?

*If you won’t be on The DIS tomorrow, I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.



For Me…..I like whipped potatoes and love mashed potatoes. I rarely make homemade mashed potatoes throughout the year due to time (if I made actual mashed potatoes after work, we’d be eating at 8pm, and I’m not doing that), so when we do eat mashed potatoes it’s instant mashed potatoes - they’re good enough. If I do have time to make actual mashed potatoes, I’m mashing them with a masher. In 30 years of marriage and living away from my parents, I’ve never whipped my potatoes.

I grew up making mashed potatoes never whipped and instant was NEVER allowed once I married I found out about instant so excited we eat them a lot I rarely make mashed potatoes but if I do I makes them with my masher after 30+ years I finally had to buy a new one
Now if I’m making sweet potatoes sometimes I will whip those but not always
If I’m making squash I just use my masher same way I make potatoes

If you’re not on here tomorrow I wanna wish you a happy Thanksgiving
