Obsession with Mashed Potatoes

SHUCKS. I wonder what's with me and POTATOES nowadays. Seems like I have gotten a weird fetish for potatoes. -_- Wonder if it's normal. Hahaha. Well, perhaps cos mashed potatoes are more of like a compliment side dish in any meal. And to be honest, I don't mind eating mashed potatoes compared to rice for dinner :P On a side note, it's easy to eat, won't spill or anything like soup etc, and potato does make me full enough as it's all carbohydrates. 

Okay, I have always wanted to make my very own mashed potatoes! Heard from my aunt that it's pretty simple, just need to peel and then boil the potato and that's pretty much it! :S

Shall do it if I have time okay :D I hope my mashed potato will magically transform into the dream image below hahaha.

Looks yummy right! Hehehe. I can't resist but googled for the recipe. :x

In the meantime, I shall make do with the Instant Mashed Potatoes! :D Just add boiling water and 1 minute ta-da it's done! Not bad, my first time making an Instant Mashed Potato, never hear before hahaha till someone told me about it. T.T
