Unpopular opinion: mashed potatoes absolutely suck any other type of potatoe is great 👍

It isnt a flavor problem though, Its texture feels like someone has already chewed up a baked potato and im being fed like a baby bird

If you don't like mashed potatoes then why do you have such delicious looking photos of them. Huh?

[u/theinspir3d → u/Elehir]

Exactly! They taste like chewed up paste yet look rlly good!

[u/Elehir → u/theinspir3d]

You seem to have only eaten overworked, over cooked mashed potatoes with not nearly enough butter then.

What about potato salad?

[u/theinspir3d → u/Missing_socket]

Fine

Hating any form of potato has no place here 😤

HYFR!!!! Here and r/onionlovers and r/bald are my last bastions of no hate Reddit. Don't let this post be the slippery slope 😭

[u/Pixilatedhighmukamuk → u/glamghoulz]

I even like powered mashed potatoes on occasion.

[u/Neverlast0]

What about using it as dip?

[u/Missing_socket → u/Neverlast0]

Do you have a mashed potato dip recipe by chance? I kind of like that idea

[u/Missing_socket → u/Missing_socket]

Like with lots of heavy cream chives and garlic salt used to dip Fritos? Or creamy mushroom mixed with mashed potatoes dipped with spicy chips.

[u/Neverlast0 → u/Missing_socket]

Do that.

the texture comparison is killing me. i feel like mashes potatoes are only good when they're creamy and buttery, because if they're too thick or gluey, i get the same feeling. fries and roasted potatoes win every time.

[u/Karey__039 → u/Jazzlike_Truck_2406]

If you’re eating mashed potatoes that are thick and gluey then somebody obviously screwed up seriously when they were making them. I think anyone would get that “ick” texture feeling if they’re mashed potatoes were thick or gluey.

They’re just ok

This is how I feel about scalloped potatoes. Eww. Love all other kinds of potatoes.
