Tim, if she can't find them, let me know. I'll brown paper package them to you so the neighbours don't suspect.

On a wholly serious note - if you've not read Mary's tip on ricing a lot of potatoes, remember that you can use the meat grinder attachment for the KA (and I'm assuming a manual meat grinder too) to rice a lot of potatoes quickly. That tip rocks...as does Mary.

But, one word of warning, don't crank it up too high ..... that grinder can fire quite hot potato a fair ways.


BTW, forgetting the dog ... priceless )

Ain't you sweet Jean.

Hi fitzie, do you rice/mash the potatoes naked, put the butter and cream in the bottom of crock pot, pots on top, and then fold together just before serving? That sounds like just the thing for me.

naked?

Okay, definitely no using the meat grinder to shoot hot potatoes when you're naked. That's just common taters... uh, I mean sense, people!

Warm potatoes are kind of nice though and cold ones can be plain invigorating.

damn I love it here.

Trinket, I mash the potatoes with cream & butter ready to serve.

I put the cream & butter on the bottom of the crockpog just to be sure they don't dry out. Don't know if it's necessary, I do it it "just in case"

In any event, it's a great way to hold poatoes when you have a lot of dishes to prepare at the last minute.

Jean, thanks for sharing, and Mary, you're a genius! I have a space-limited kitchen and was comtemplating buying a ricer...however, I already have two meat grinders (any wonder why I have limited space LOL) so my spuds will be perfect this year! I also have crockpots up the wazoo (actually they are stored in the entryway). One less thing to worry about at the last minute.
