Random Tater Pic of the Day #120

Another night at the Royal Court on board the Disney Fantasy, and here's another tater pic. These golden brown swirled beauties are whipped Yukon Gold potatoes. They were delicious and the best part of that night's meal. They had a heavenly texture, lightly crisp on top protecting a soft hot buttery inside of tender potatoes. They came with my almost as good peppercorn encrusted steak.

French Fry Diary 177: Wegman's Signature Whipped Potatoes

My mother-in-law is a wonderful cook. Unfortunately she just doesn't cook that often. Let's be honest here, cooking is a lot of work. And cooking for Thanksgiving is the most work of all in that arena. For that reason, the last few Thanksgivings have been courtesy of Wegman's. And again, honestly, the folks at Wegman's aren't bad cooks either.

This year in particular, probably because of this blog, I have been hearing a lot of folks talking about the potatoes from Wegman's at Thanksgiving. Specifically the mashed potatoes. Officially called Wegman's Signature Whipped Potatoes, these are buttery mashed potatoes, quite addictive and tasty when hot. Not mom's, or even mom-in-law's, and a bit more liquid-y than I would prefer, but darned good for Thanksgiving dinner.
