"Riced potatoes" are one example. Mashed (riced) to look like rice, sometimes with added herbs and spices.
But potatoes mashed with a splash of whole cream/milk, some butter and salt is a wonderful experience if nothing else. Plain potatoes mashed with a fork only? I'll pass...
I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I'm saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn't really know the difference now does it
