Why I salt my mashed potatoes, not my boil water (and other mash myths debunked)
video description
Given that the end products were identical/similar, do you think it's worth salting the water to prevent flavor and nutrients from going into the water you're throwing away.

Something my family has done forever that when I tell other people about it I always get weird looks is eat mashed potatoes with Apple Sauce (almost always home made) on them. We make a fairly thick home made apple sauce, none of that could drink it through a straw or babies food consistency Apple sauce.
It's very good.

my issue with hellp fresh is that i cant see their menu before i fully sign up and give my credit card info. both me and my girlfriend are picky eaters, so we really need to know if the service is going to have enough options that we can actually eat before going through the effort to sign up

You mash with a electric masher, it is mixed salt particles quite well. Myth was born in ancient pre-electric time, think about wooden masher and no butter and often water instead of milk. It is much harder to salt homogeneous such mashed potatoes.

For curries, I always soaked the potatoes in salt water to keep them from falling apart so yeah, I assume boiling in salt water makes them worse for mashing.
Instead I just keep adding salted butter until it tastes good.

I often try to guess who the sponsor is going to be as Adam starts his segue into the ad. This time, he said effortlessly delicious, and I said Ah, Squarespace. I didn't say I was good at this.

pro tip, steam the potatoes in the rice cooker and whip them up with a whisk with the extra butter and cheeses you need. keep the rice cooker on warm until serving. fluffy fluffy.

You should never use an electrical mixer for mashing potatoes. The potatoes should masked gently to avoid the mash becoming a gooey mess reminiscent of a commercial grade mash.

I salt the water and sometimes it needs a touch more salt at the end. There was one time I put a ton of salt in the water and the resulting potatoes were overly salty and gross.

Whipped vs mashed potatoes? Do you think that might make some form of difference to flavour and texture? I guess depending on the final use and your country of origin?

Yes
I prefer to eat the potatoes raw, eat 2 kilograms on salt and drink boiling water in a pressing machine so I can enjoy my mashed potatoes
