Obviously, if I love to cook, I love to eat. As a result, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays--because of the food. Personally, I think everyone should always be thankful for what they have in life... but I am not complaining that there is a marked holiday for eating a feast. In the weeks leading up to thanksgiving, all I think about it falling asleep after heaping portions of mashed potatoes, turkey and stuffing. Then waking back up to finish some pumpkin pie.
For the next week or so, I will be focusing on the college student's guide to thanksgiving. There can be elements of the meal that you don't have to only eat once a year. I will start with my favorite: mashed potatoes.
Now, you have probably seen your mother/grandmother/whoever cooks in your family slave over mashed potatoes by boiling the potatoes, vigorously smushing them, adding the perfect amount of butter... basically, it's a major time commitment. So, when you're craving that delicious dish try potato buds. You literally just add water, milk, butter and salt (depending on the recipe) and it is done within 10 minutes. They are creamy and delicious, and I honestly cannot tell the difference.
Check out what Betty has to say about these.
I have never tried this before. I can't handle how long it takes to me mashed potatoes. Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try this.
