Going with a very buttery mash, thx all
SUCCESS. i peeled, chopped into chunks, boiled in salty water, drained, mashed, added (an unholy amount of) butter and some cream, lots of fresh black pepper, a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg and a dollop of sour cream. it& #39;s like a lil CLOUD
to be fair you could give a shoe this treatment and it would taste ok
beginning to believe the secret to any good recipe is more fat/schmaltz/richness than is likely sensible (it& #39;s just that instead of the julia child stick of butter on the chicken method nouveau recipes disguise this by calling for coconut cream, big glugs of EVOO, fatty yogurts)
