        The Michelin Star way is 1:1 butter to potato ratio (yes, so 1 pound of butter for every pound of potatoes) and a tiny bit of salt lol. You just run the mash potatoes through a fine mesh until it becomes a super smooth paste.

          Jeez. I knew restaurant mashed potatoes used a lot of butter, but that’s pretty nuts if true.

            Restaurant food tastes good because we make it the unhealthy way, and we have commercial grade burners. To quote Beavis and/ or Butthead: “FIRE! hu hu YEAH! FIRE!”

            That’s why high end star restaurants serve smaller portions. 1) cuz it’s usually a lot of ingredients but also 2) there’s a psychological aspect where you appreciate the food more because there’s less of it.

          Fine mesh? We don’t have time for that shit. I think you meant stick a blender in there and whip the shit out of them till they’re smooth.

            That’s why it’s Michelin Star lol. I just mash everything into the pot it’s cooking out of. I personally like having some chunks of potato.

            Then you need to clean the blender.

            Just mash with a potato masher or a huge fork for a couple min. Cleanup is: toss masher/fork into dishwasher.

              Small batches sure. I’m not interested in mashing 100 lbs of potatoes by hand every day
