You should do more cooking.

Mashed potatoes do have other ingredients besides potatoes. Like butter, milk, nutmeg, other stuff depending on local customs…

Mashed patatoes made purely out of squashed potatoes are not something you would enjoy.

Plenty of people eat them like that all around the world. Never heard of anyone adding milk to potatoes.

Judging by a short internet search and the majority of comments in this thread, yours seems to be a somewhat exotic experience.

Just give mashed potatoes with some additional seasoning and moisture source a try someday. Might be worth it!

I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I’m saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn’t really know the difference now does it

Masticating and mashing are different processes. Please tell me your aren’t chewing your potatoes (insert next step) and calling them mashed?

It’s like the traditional way of making chicha… chew up potatoes, spit them in a bowl.
