No one ever said there was too much butter in the mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes were one of the first things I cooked and that was all I said to myself when I’d made them.

A couple years ago I realized I got worse at making mashed potatoes. By that time, I’d watched a ton of different “professionals” make mashed potatoes. They all had to have a different take on this simple dish because, if not, why make another recipe?

I think of this a lot on LinkedIn too. We all try to think of different things to type every day. To have different or interesting or overthought advice. We really should just be looking to say things like, “no one ever said there was too butter in the mashed potatoes.”
