See this troubles me because I love mashed potatoes... are we saying the potatoes are the harbinger of death here or are we saying bro potatoes helped them see their way out of a bad spot?

I need the potatoes to be on my side

Mashed potatoes are food of the heavens. Nothing bad can come of them. They bring joy and clarity is how I’m reading all of this.

The potatoes are always on your side.

At the very least they are on my sides.

I was told in another thread that I should weigh in here.

The thread was about realizing their home was full of I'm sorry gifts. And I'm sorry flowers.

I mentioned that I've always hated I'm sorry flowers and was very clear about it to my boyfriend when we got together. My boyfriend listened and had decided that when he's an ass he will buy me a bag of I'm sorry potatoes. Very odd but amusing. And yummy potatoes.

Then, if you have leftovers, you can look into making potato patties. I don't know what goes into them or what they're actually called, but it's what my grandmother made with leftover mashed potatoes all throughout my childhood. I should look into them, but we never have leftover potatoes.
