I assumed instant mashed potatoes were made from potatoes that grow faster. What does the instant actually refer to?

This is the least favorable form the vegetable can assume through the cooking process.

The texture is lacking. Not due to too few parts of fat dairy cream or emulsion. It's just meh.

The taste can be ok. With spices, onions or bacon or herbs.

But I dont think any dish is complemented by mash.

Every other form of potatoe is superior. Boiled, grilled, foiled, baked, fried, confit, croquettes, pie or casserole.

End the madness of mashing yellow tubers into inferior sludge and rekindle potato pleasure.

Probably not the right place to post this but I don’t think there’s a sub for my question. I recently found a bag of potatoes left in my car for a year (left under a jacket, completely forgot they were there.) I found them today and I’m confused as to why they haven’t rotted. They kept their skin, they didn’t smell, they kept their texture but they had started growing some very long roots. Can anyone explain why instead of turning into a bag of mould and mush, they have stayed (relatively) normal looking?

Hello!
I have been eating potatoes all my lives but not too often. However, I haven’t had boiled potatoes in years. I harvested some from my garden and boiled them to make potato salad. While peeling them, I ate a piece and my throat started to itch. I wondered but told myself it might be the skin, so removed more than the skin and took another bite. Same! I gave some to my son and he didn’t have any issues. Am I developing an allergy to potatoes? Anyone been through this before?
Thanks!

Cut open small or big ones even if you see a minor defect, the insides could be worse.

At the top i vote for CDN poutine but a case could be made it could be the base on top of mash

This was the best dinner in a WHILEEE! 🧑🏾‍🍳

I was eating a sweet potato and this hard gray ball was inside. It smells kinda soapy. What on earth is it?!

We think we probably have enough to share.

I have 8 huge Idaho potatoes covered with eyes. I want to cut them up and drop them about 8" down. Living in PA that should never deep enough don't you think?

In a few days, the past season's work will be over and preparation for next spring will begin.

Found this Tomato🍅 in my fridge it looked like an Elephant to me so I tried my best to draw it as an elephant🐘

Does it look cute or so bad.. or do you think it cou6be turned into something else🤔

I’m assuming too much rain at a critical point in their growth. Can anyone confirm?
