My thanksgiving dinner garlic mashed potatoes were a big hit :). There is one more tip that I would like to share, again it's connected to making mashed potatoes. As I've said - less water, better mashed potatoes. This is why one of the tips is to cut potatoes in BIG chunks instead of small ones. This way the suck in less water. But a step further is not tu cut them at all. Don't even peel them. Wash them really good and then cook them with their skin on. When they are done drain them and cover them with cold water so that you dont burn yourslef and peel them... the skins will come of easy...just watch it, they're hot! :)
That's it. Tata...
