Can I replace fresh milk with evaporated milk?

[OnePotChefShow]

@LegoLover33 Yes, that's fine ;)

[dreadoll1]

why are the eggs necessary?

[OnePotChefShow]

@dreadoll1 There are no eggs in this recipe ;)

[demelza9910]

Hey david :) If I add cream cheese because my family lovess cheese then that would make it creamy enough right? no need to add sour cream or milk....?

[OnePotChefShow]

@demelza9910 Yes, you could use cream cheese if you like :)

[HelloImQuin]

You have nice eyes.

[OnePotChefShow]

@BloodyBonned Butter is made from animal products, while margarine is generally made from vegetable oil ;)

[TatyBReyes10]

@dreadoll1 where did u see eggs? lol

[Crackles06]

I normally keep the pieces bigger than that, also before I mash I'll add margarine and milk. Never felt the need to season with salt as even salt reduced butter / margarine should be enough.

11 people don't like mash!!!! WHAT!!!

hahaha i don't know why this was in my related videos, but i was thinking who doesn't know how to make mashed potatoes and i remembered once my mums friend called my mum and asked her how to make it and i was laughing. i thought it was funny because even i knew how to make it and i can't make many things at all.

cool video though :) now i want mashed potatoes. good on ya hahaha

[rockellish]

@bohol120696 NO! what ever you do don't use a blender It'll turn into a glue, I tried that before and I just threw them all :(
