A war of words. Challenges and counter-challenges. Then a gauntlet thrown…
Yes, it’s the Mashed Potato Smackdown!
Some trash-talk on Twitter has spilled into an all-out brawl here on Fair Food Fight, with a burning question that MUST be answered: Who has the ultimate mashed potato recipe?
But this isn’t just for a few trash-talkers. No, this is a total free-for-all, a Mashed Potato Smackdown, and you’re invited, too.
Think you have the mashed potato magic? Post your own personal mashed potato recipe here on Fair Food Fight by Thursday, April 15 at noon Central time, and readers will vote for the best recipe in the smackdown. Whichever recipe gets the most positive comments wins.
What does the winner get? Bragging and prancing rights, a triumphant march around the ring, and the deep, satisfying glow of knowing that your competitors are gnashing their teeth in abject jealousy.
Here’s how to play:
1) To post a recipe, start a Fair Food Fight profile.
2) Once you have a profile, in the upper left hand side of the home page, under “Join!” you’ll see an index: Click on Post a Blog Entry.
3) Write your recipe and hit post. I recommend using a title like, “Mashed Potato Smackdown: [Your Recipe Title]” and tagging it “mashed potato” so that readers can find your recipe.
READERS: If you want to vote, just leave a “thumbs up” in the comments!
By the way, the first punch has been thrown, and it’s a good one. RichardA’s Orange Goat Mash is officially the recipe to beat…
It’s better than yours. Damn right, it’s better than yours.
Oh, well let’s just wave the checkered flag right, now then, shall we??
Both other recipes contain “sour cream.” How unoriginal! Only my recipe has the more unique and tastier goat cheese! I’ll win this contest easily.
,,,because goats can’t type comments.
Ok, let us compare the recipes by the two ladies. Essentially, they use the same ingredients except for one. It is a difference of cream cheese vs olive oil. That is it.
My recipe on the other hand has more differences than the others. First, I don’t use sour cream. Second, I don’t use cream cheese or olive oil. Third, I use creamy goat cheese. Fourth, I add a sweet potato.
So do you want the same old mashed recipes? Or do you want something different, something more unique.
The choice is easy. Vote for me.
AHA! None of your recipes have the international appeal of mine – I got it all the way from Belarus
Well, the international angle might have counted for something if your actual recipe included any interntational ingredients. Instead, it has 3 very common ingredients, and you could find such a recipe anywhere.
Maybe a recipe for Gulbishnik might have worked much better.
Belarusian throwdown, you and me. Next time! I challenge you! * throws down glove *
We going to throw potatoes at each other at ten paces?
… only if you promise to go down like Pushkin.
