Cooking: Quick Mashed Potatoes

Lately I’ve been expanding my breakfast roster… mostly because I realized breakfast is the only meal I can be bothered to eat properly. The rest of the day I can’t even be assed to feed myself.

A while back I saw a heroine in some eroge who loves mashed potatoes, and watching her eat got me hungry as hell, so I went and made some myself.

Ingredients:

• One potato
• Asparagus
• Shiitake mushrooms
• Bacon
• Black pepper
• A slice of cheese
• Salt
• Soy sauce
• Milk

Method:

• Peel and dice the potato, grab a pot, add cold water, toss the diced potato in and start boiling
• Wash and dice the asparagus and shiitake, dice the bacon
• You can either blanch the asparagus and shiitake in boiling water or give them a quick fry in a small pan — either way, just get them cooked, boiled or fried, don’t matter
• Boil the potato for 15 minutes, poke it with a chopstick, and once it’s soft, fish it out. Get a bowl and mash it with a spoon
• Tear up the cheese slice and mix it into the mash
• Mix in the diced bacon, shiitake, and asparagus too
• Add a splash of milk and keep mixing
• Season with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, keep mixing
• Plate it up and eat.

It tastes great, highly recommend, though I honestly have no idea how to plate it so it looks good…
