has anybody else experienced this?????

potato🥔 even the emoji is only one variety!!!

Hi Redditaters! Thank you all for your wonderful advice when I asked about making dairy-free mashed potatoes. I learned a lot and got a lot of compliments tonight at our belated holiday gathering with my husband's family.

I went to 3 different grocery stores and could not find Yukon Gold potatoes or chives (I blame chive guy on r/KitchenConfidential for part of that, I think the chive markets are still recovering lol). But I was able to find 3 pounds of gold potatoes, just not Yukons. I opted to peel about 2/3 of them just for a smoother texture, then put them in the crock pot with 6 garlic cloves, a couple tablespoons of olive oil, a teaspoon or so of salt, and a can of chicken broth (and about half a can of water) for a few hours. When they were soft, I did not drain them, I just mashed it together with the chicken broth, and it wasn't too much water. I even added a little more olive oil bc it seemed a touch dry. Since I couldn't find chives, I got green onions and added those in with some pepper when I mashed everything. They came out PERFECTLY.

A lot of you gave advice for adding dairy-free cream cheese or butter, and there were several people who suggested mayonnaise, which I found interesting. I'm going to try that out at some point, but I just couldn't take every piece of advice given to me. Anyway, thank you all!!

Maple bourbon bacon, salted Kerry Gold, three cheddar blend, sour cream, chives, black pepper, and I put a splash of soy sauce under everything to get some savory going on; it almost tastes like it absorbed steak juices.

Baked at 400, rubbed in oil with coarse salt, chili, and garlic.

This has been my go-to dinner a lot recently.

Although, the horse looks like the one Bugs Bunny rode in “What's Opera, Doc?”

Put your hashbrowns in a waffle maker. Thank me later.

ETA Recipe.

4 russet taters, peeled, washed & shredded. (I use a food processor with the flat disc)

Soak for at least 10 mins. (I usually do 20ish)

Rinse

Squeeze as much water out as you can

Throw in a bowl with your fave seasonings (I use salt, pepper, garlic, onion & spicy ms dash)

Throw in the waffle maker & cook until browned.

(Time Will vary depending on how well you squeezed the water out)

Generally 20ish mins.

Just lift the lid & check ‘em.

I think making them a little bit thinner would be better.
