Mashed Taters the Artisan Way


This evening's dinner included mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese. For the first time, I used the Kitchen Aid mixer for making them. Other than a few lumps (which can actually make the potatoes upscale) I loved making them this way. Much easier than the potato ricer I bought earlier this year. That thing requires brute strength, but Artie does all the work while I just throw ingredients into the bowl. I'm not sure if the cheese made them a little stiff, but they tasted good. Probably could have used more milk or butter, but I was trying to go easy on the calories. Next time I'll use the whisk attachment instead of the heavier one, and see if that makes a difference. By the by, I made homemade BBQ sauce for the chicken, too, but Artie didn't help me with that...
