Hey, you! What's up?
So much has been happening lately - I don't know what to think about it and where to begin.
But ... The Husband and I finally managed to finish and upload a new Youtube Video. Finally! It's a Thermomix recipe for Mashed Potatoes.
Remember Baby Girl's back-to-school? Click here for the post. Well, I was feeling a little blue that day. Realising that Baby Girl isn't really a baby anymore. Anyways, the Husband and I took the day off to comfort each other, well more me. I decided I needed a pick-me-up in the form of one of my favorite dishes ever - Mashed Potatoes.
Nowadays, I make my Mashed Potatoes using the Thermomix. Like I mentioned in the video, my father probably hates me right now for not making Mashed Potatoes the way he thought me. Using a food mill and lots of butter and cream. Admittedly, his way is still the best way to have mashed potatoes. That's true. But the Thermomix version comes a close second and super easy to prepare! Sorry Dad! 😊

I particularly love enjoying Mashed Potatoes with fish. Especially when it's been cooked in sautéed onion, garlic, and tomatoes. If you haven't tried this combination, you definitely should!
