mash or boiled potatoes?

Mashed with grated cheese on top.

Mashed potatoes are usually made by adding milk and butter, with salt and pepper to taste in the mashing process. Boiled potatoes you can add parsley, a little olive oil and garlic salt for a tasty side dish (use red potatoes). Your choice, both are good but the healthier of the two would be boiled with the skins (red potatoes).

Mash, absolutely completely definitely. Boiled potatoes are the most boring form of potato, unless they're really gorgeous new ones, and mash is the nicest of almost all foods in the known universe. Just potatoes, butter, salt and pepper.

I wish I had some potatoes in the kitchen!!

Mashed potatoes are another form of boiled potatoes.

You have received so many answers, all of which, in their way are good.

You cannot compare boiled with mashed. It all depends on what you are serving your potatos with !!

In preference, I would go with mash (made with a ricer). Salt, pepper and creme fraiche (single cream is O.K.).

Plain and simple, so as not to overpower the flavours of your main dish, yet rich enough to be special.

Mash is mashed boiled potatoes - therefore no significant difference other than texture.

Not sure what the question means, but I prefer mashed potato with cheese and spring onions. I think they call it champ in Ireland.

Gotta be mashed there are so many ways to make them. Just plain or sour cream add some cheese or yummy garlic. And always butter. You cant have any potatoes without butter.

I FOUND THESE RECIPES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. MY FAMILY DEMANDS THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS, YET VERY EASY TO MAKE. ENJOY.

Remove the garlic from the oven, and cut in half. Squeeze the softened cloves into the potatoes. Blend potatoes with an electric mixer until desired consistency is achieved.

I only like boiled if they are new potatoes, like mash with gravy, or Jacket

Mashed with a little butter and milk, with sausages. Boiled are good, and roast, or curried are very nice. Sliced on top of a casserole in hot pot is yummy too.
