Absent the ranch dressing yeah I would eat them spuds, cheese and garlic are nice.

Come to think of it, there's a lot of things I wouldn't eat if you added 1 cup of ranch to them.

Same at the ballpark.

The cost, sadly, is real though (I spent $20 on three chicken tenders, fries, and a soda, and then immediately dropped the soda. No refills).

When donuts are in the offing I will cut myself a 1/8 wedge of one. That's about all I can usually stomach

The only donuts that don't make me feel gross after eating are mochi donuts.

A cup of ranch dressing is insane, but I feel like the truth is in the middle with those potatoes. Dial back the seasoning by 50% and we can talk. Feels like dad is overcompensating for bland potatoes when he was young.

Havarti seems like a very wrong cheese to use in mashed potatoes. Parmesan, sure, but havarti? That's weird.

Never eaten it but it sounds like those sweet nutty cheeses you get from scandiland? My main worry would be I don't know how well they would melt, but I mean, any cheese is good. For preference I'd probably add blue cheese or something, or a strong cheddar cos cheddar goes with everything.

I was expecting some kind of blue-vein or washed-rind cheese, not two of the most ordinary and popular types of cheese that exist.

Depends what Parmesan he’s using.
The pre grated stuff out of a tub? Stinks like old feet
An actual piece of Parmesan grated fresh? Heaven on earth, nutty and beautiful

On “breakfast meats”, for those not familiar:

Diners in Philadelphia will offer dishes like “pancakes with your choice of breakfast meats.” Your choice of breakfast meats is usually bacon, Canadian bacon, Taylor ham/pork roll, ham, pork sausage link, pork sausage patty, scrapple, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, beef bacon, beef sausage, and sometimes corned beef and pastrami.

Edit to add: Champ’s Diner options

Can’t believe I forgot chipped beef and crabcakes.

Have to say, this sounds horrifying when you're from a country that considers more than one boiled egg (along with some slices of bread) for breakfast the height of decadence.

AITA for telling my husband that his potatoes are gross and that's why the kids and I refuse to eat them?
"I want my potatoes plain!" is the whitest thing ever. And even in Norway, which is by far one of the whitest country in the world, we at the very least add some loving salt our potatoes.

Real Danish havarti has the kind of smell that makes you think you have something really rotten in the fridge unless you double-bag it.

The cup of ranch in the potatoes is already a crime against God.

I like ranch dressing just fine on a salad, but I don't understand how it apparently broke a lot of Americans brains to the point they want it on and in everything. Pizza and ranch? No, gently caress off. Ranch-flavored tortilla chips? Keep loving off. Ranch in mashed potatoes? gently caress off forever.

I can do ranch on a salad and Doritos and that’s pretty much my limit.

But ranch, cheese, potatoes, old bay and sesame oil? No. Choose one or two elements and have fun with that, not twelve things you like in a freak bowl.

I would make those potatoes in a heartbeat with some cream instead of ranch and a lack of Old Bay, but I'd have to create a PYF Good Foods thread and I'm not about to go to that level of :effort:

It's seasoned buttermilk. If someone told you they added buttermilk, garlic, onion, parsley, and dill into their mashed potatoes you wouldn't think twice.

I wouldn't need to think twice, because the first thought would be "gross."

Havarti is already a fairly creamy cheese to mix into the potatoes. That plus the ranch just makes the whole thing sound like it's just got way too much white goop : actual potatoes ratio.

The most famous mashed potatoes recipe is 4:1:1 potatoes:butter:milk. The potato:dairy proportion is similar here.

Whether the potatoes are gross or not, he should separate out his portion and dump in all his extras.
The rest of the family clearly aren't into them so retain your pride by saying their unrefined palates can't appreciate it.

That was covered in the relationships thread the recipe came from, this seems like a better place to discuss its culinary merits.
