What I can't tolerate are the people who leave the skins in their mashed

I don't mind skins if they are yeller or red potatoes.

I have nothing against potato skins, I don't want them in my smashed taters.

You caught me again. I find it easy to make lumpy smashed taters. My smashed taters really are mashed. My mother always used a mixer to whip hers and she still managed to leave a few lumps in them.

So let me get this straight color makes no difference but skin doe?


Purple skin is bad?

I think if God put skin on something it is meant to be swallowed.

My list of great skin:
Chicken
Turkey
Bacon
Tators
Carrots
Smelt

Bullheads are an exception to this

Purple skin is bad?

I have found the purple skin on purple potatoes to be bitter (probably too much cyanide) but the purple skin on Viking potatoes is fine. I just don't want potato skins in my smashed taters. They are fine any other way including on french fries.

I have done that and still ended up with nice smooth gravy.

Dump the flour in when the water is hot.

It isn't water when I dump the flour in and it is hot. I can still make smooth lump free gravy doing that. My mother mixed her flour with water in a glass before adding it and she made wonderful lumpy gravy. That doesn't work for me either.

Maybe you're just talented. A lot of people would love to have smooth gravy instead of lumpy.

But I like lumpy gravy just like I like her lumpy tomato soup.
