I do a lot of cooking at a friend's house. Being an apartment dweller, he
has the room for the massive grill, smoker, turkey deep-fryer, etc.
While I'll try and make virtually anything, he makes but one: mashed
potatoes-not garlic mashed, onion mashed, dill flavored, etc-just mashed
potatoes-at every meal. Occasionally, (read as 'I forgot to buy potatoes' to
mash) it will be hash browns. It's as though he needs to eat mashed potatoes
in order to continue to survive.
As a result, I do not eat potatoes at home. Oh, in a stew on rare occasion
(my wife won't eat stew-'that's for poor folks and I'm not poor'-but that is
another story).
