Let me ask you a question: Do you like mashed potatoes? I'm a certified potato freak, ha, ha! After all, I grew up in Europe, and our diet consisted mostly of meat, potatoes, and bread. So this is right up my alley.
However, mashed potatoes do take some time to make. But wait, what if there was a faster way? Guess what? There actually is!
You have to peel the potatoes, wash them, boil them, add all the ingredients, and of course, mash them. That doesn't sound that quick. Am I right? Well, somebody decided to skip most of that.
Are you ready for it? Get this they dumped the entire bag of chips into a boiling pot of water. OMG! What? What in the heck? Why?
Now all you need to do is boil the chips like you would regular potatoes. I don't know how I feel about that, ha, ha! What do you think so far?
Then drop the gooey mess back into the pot. Sounds familiar? Yes, that's what you do with regular boiled potatoes, too. Now you just mash the chips up.
Add butter, sour cream, regular cream, and some salt. And mash it all again until it looks like this. Doesn't it look exactly like mashed potatoes or what?
So they might look alright, but how do they taste? That's the ultimate test. Isn't it? Get a load of this — according to people online they taste just like mashed potatoes. Ha, ha! I wasn't expecting that, I have to admit.
But if you're in a pinch, this version will do just fine. Hmm, I don't know. I'm one who wouldn't want to sacrifice anything when it comes to my food.
Many of them commented with baffling questions like "why would you do this?" I have to say I kind of agree with them on this.
Would you skip all the steps and do this instead the next time you want mashed potatoes? I think if taste and texture are important to you, stick to the old-fashioned way of doing it.
