This is a basic German Mashed Potato recipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 potatoes, medium size. Fingerlings and Yukon Gold are great!<\/span>
\n Salted boiling water to cover.<\/span>
\n 1\/2 cup sour cream<\/span>
\n 2 Tbs. butter<\/span>
\n 1\/2 tsp. salt, fresh white pepper to taste.<\/span>
\n ! Tbs. of horseradish<\/span>
\n 2 tsp, or more of parsley or chives; I prefer chives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0\"mashed<\/a> <\/div><\/div>\n
\u00a0Peel and quarter the spuds. Cook, covered in salted boiling water under tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer at low speed, adding 1 Tbs. Butter (or yogurt or both) and the pepper to taste. I find my old fashioned potato masher does an admiral job.<\/span> <\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Add sour cream, horseradish or even a garlic mustard, minced parsley or chives. Whip as for mashed potatoes.<\/span>
\n Serve and top with garnishings, I like chives and a dash of paprika. Milk can be substituted, sour milk being very good. I added a parsnip to my last batch, it came out thicker but very good. Turnips can be added as well. If you add a bit of butter on top, one can finish it off in the broiler to get a light crust.<\/span><\/p>\n

This would be served with Schnitzel, and many other dishes. I\u00a0 have an updated version. <\/strong><\/a>From that site I added this.

\n

Tricks and alternatives to change the tempo:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. One trick I learned from an old family friend: reserve about 1\/4 c. of the starchy water that the potatoes boiled in, and whip that in when you add the creams. If you want a creamy version this is the way to go. Not adding this gives a lumpier version.
\n2. I tend to add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, black pepper, onion powder and garlic!
\n3. The best part about mashed potatoes is making potato cakes from them. Press a handful of cold mashed potato into a cake, dust each side with seasoned flour and fry them in a butter\/oil combination. Talk about out of this world! Hot and crunchy on the outside, creamy inside.
\n4. Germans and other Europeans frequently add a good dollop of ground horseradish to them.
\n5. American: Crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese
\n 6. Vegan: Minced green herbs and garlic\u00a0 especially roasted garlic.
\n 7. Mediterranean: Goat cheese, <\/span>Caramelized onions, roasted garlic and c 3 Tbs grated Parmigiano or Reggiano cheese<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The bird does not seek the past, it flies every hopeful into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Oh I should add why German books are so much bigger.<\/span><\/span>
