you understand that meme approximately spaghetti: “I don’t constantly make spaghetti, however when I do, I make enough to cease hunger.” LOL. Makes me giggle whenever. nicely, I think the equal thing applies to mashed potatoes!
I usually suppose I’m making the right amount for dinner, however turn out to be with way extra than vital. while that takes place, I make Loaded Mashed Potato cakes tomorrow with the leftovers. It’s nearly as though my unconscious purposefully has me cook dinner more mashed potatoes than I need, simply so i can make those Loaded Mashed Potato cakes. It’s now not a bad problem to have.
