MASHED . POTATOES ?

Now here is A hot new one . I was in the store with my wife and she told me to get us a bag of potatoes . Ok I went over to the ben and as I looked It dawned on me we have A crop here in FLA . they are called red bliss .I think. they are grown In south Fla .All the potatoes were from outher states . there was none from Fla .WHY not? would some one tell me why not .

I always use Yukon Gold potatoes to mash.

Thank you for takeing your time to answer me . we use them also .but I want to no why we pay 4.00 for five pounds of them .? when we have our one here that Is not even I n the store .It must be that they have ours .an they pay more then we would for them .

Damn! I thought this was a post about that Gieco commercial.

While we're talking about mashed potatoes, let me say by far the best I've ever had is Martha Stewart's recipe:

2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and boiled
1 stick butter
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream or Crème Fraîche
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

at first I thought it was weird to put cream cheese in mashed potatoes, but it is excellent!
