Okay - you can help put a discussion to rest. My wife and her family have grown up eating mashed potatoes without gravy. They either just eat 'em plain, or with a little salt. I grew up with gravy. We didn't serve mashed potatoes without gravy - to do so would just be weird. I told her she's weird. She told me I'm weird. I told her I'd make a poll on the bbs. How do you feel about mashed potatoes and gravy? NOTE: We're talking about PLAIN mashed potatoes - no spices, no seasonings, no garlic, etc.
I could go either way on the subject. I guess it kind of depends on what you are eating with the potatoes but I really like gravy. I prefer brown gravy better than cream gravy. edit: Cream gravy goes on biscuits, not mashed potatoes. Damn RM95, how could you not know that??
same here now baked potatoes ............thats another story nothing beats a good, big baked potatoe loaded with sour cream, cheese, bacon bits ...............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A dark brown gravy for me please. Cream gravy if brown is not available. What ever you do don't ruin my mashed potatos with cheese.
We don't use gravy much anymore but my wife makes the most bad ass mashed potatoes with garlic and creme fraiche. uuummmmm.....
Mashed potatos without gravy is satanic... like preferring beans in your chili... blech. What kind of demon is she?!?!?! GET A PRIEST!!!
Depends. Regular mashed taters (taters, milk, butter, salt, pepper) served with chicken fried steak or fried chicken = bring on the cream gravy. More upscale taters (w/ any of the following: dill, rosemary, creme fraiche, goat cheese, garlic) served with, say, a good steak, lamb chop, venison or whatnot = no gravy. Brown gravy was created in hell by the minions of Satan to be used as a form of neverending torment. It's true.
I can eat them either way. Cheese is fine too. Ever had boiled red potatoes and velveeta? It's the gooeyist **** ever. Twice baked potatoes also rock.
It could be worse.. My better half's family doesnt even have Mashed Potatoes at any holiday dinner.. It's been 8 years without Mashed Patatoes every year.. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???
Are we talking about plain mashed potatoes? Because obviously if it's garlic or rosemarry or something, you don't want to mask that flavor. But plain mashed potatoes, gravy that sh*t up. Brown or cream, it's all good.
Gravy. Never been a big baked potato fan. Seems like you spend more time preparing it than eating it.
