Never happened before, shocking mash
« on: July 25, 2012, 10:49:25 am »
Cooked potatoes for 25 mins in basket. Then added to TM bowl,  seemed firm but knife went threw OK.  Mashed with butterfly, milk & cream.

Not good, potayoes in tiny hard lumps!!!

How can I make this to decent mash?

Thats a shame Hally :( I wondered how you would save them.

Don't think DH would appreciate ice for dinner LOL but I'm guessing you mean rice ;D
