It's like she decides she wants white, brown, beige, tan, or grey mush then works backwards into a recipe.

Party Potatoes

Nov 26, 2018 | Recipes | 0 

This super easy mashed potatoes recipe is one that my family got from some friends of ours several years back. We’d always eat these potatoes as a side with beef brisket.

 

5 lbs. potatoes (peel if desired)

1 (24oz.) sour cream

2 pkgs. onion soup mix

1 pkg. (8oz.) cream cheese, softened

 

Scrub (or peel), rinse and dice potatoes. Boil till soft (about 20 min.). Mash potatoes with all ingredients. Enjoy!

Note: can be served hot (mashed potatoes) or cold (potato salad).

So basically onion dip with chunks of potato? The recipe doesn't sound totally horrid, saturated fat and calories aside, but can Jill please make something that isn't ecru or beige?

I feel like we could create a Benjamin Moore color palette of neutrals based off Jill's cooking.

The sodium level of that oup is over 1200 mg. for the recipe.  That's a lot for a side dish.  How many people would 5 pounds serve?  Maybe 12-15?

I don't know how to calculate circus-sized meals.

I'm old and not clued in to a lot of current internet practices, so I thought I'd ask you guys my question.

How does it work that Jill can make money by posting crappy recipes on her website? Who is paying her the money? Is it a significant amount of money, enough to support her family since her worthless husband won't?

I just don't get it.

[QuinnInND]

Yuck. I'll stick with my own potato salad, thanks. 

[BradandJanet]

We got this amazing recipe from our old friends.

We always ate this with brisket.

My mom made pecan pie because it was my father's favorite. 

We always baked fresh bread.

I think Jill lives in a fantasy food world. Pecans and brisket are expensive, so I doubt the Duggarettes and their friends with huge families saw much beyond cream soup casserole and baloney sandwiches on sliced white bread. There's a reason 90% of what she cooks is in the beige family.

I'm old too, but I think it has to do with advertising. Similar to commercials who buy a spot during a TV show, ads that run on the side of a website pay the host per click. I'm guessing most websites do not make enough to support a family. I'm also guessing the Dillard Family website doesn't pay enough to cover their costs of Cream of Soups.

Oops ^^^

My God, what did Jill do to those poor potatoes? What are the orange items in the potatoes that aren't listed on the recipe? Grated sharp cheese? I have potato recipes that use sour cream OR creamed cheese, but not both. 

IMO, that's a lot of dip mix even for 5 pounds of potatoes. 

[Misslindsey]

I find Jill's food photography hilarious. Does Jill really think that putting a tea towel/tablecloth/or whatever on a chair, while displaying the mashed potatoes in a plastic bowl actually looks good? Sigh, of course she does. It is like she has never even looked at an actual food blog.

My eye is drawn to the gray streak on the left side of the potato photo. If these are the Party Potatoes, the party is over.

You inspired me! I only had to go through a couple pages of her recipes to get enough color names. (One paint in the screenshot was already called Mayonnaise, so I kept it 😂)

Her parents raising her in a bubble has done her no favors. She still has that same mindset, even when it comes to food blogging.

Also, those potatoes look gross, and I love potatoes. I don't know if she overmashed them or if it's the added ingredients that make them look that way, but I'm forced to suppress my gag reflex looking at that photo once again. I'm not even sure I recognize them as mashed potatoes--the photo makes it look like there are cannellini beans in there.

I just don't get it.

Jill is making money from the Google AdSense ads displayed on her website.  She makes nothing from posting on Instagram, unless she is shilling a product and you buy that product using her commissions code.  Posting on Instagram is just a way of trying to direct people to view her website. 

A website owner can make money from the Google ads even if nobody clicks on an ad.  The owner is also paid based upon the number of people who just visited the website and viewed the ad.  Jill is making $200 - $800 a month from this advertising income, no matter how bad her recipes are.

The constant posting of ridiculous selfies and videos is to compensate these egomaniacs since TLC stopped filming them.  They post more on social media than any other Duggar.  They have an insatiable desire to remain in the public eye, probably for ulterior motives that will not be clear until after Derick leaves law school.  You can be assured that Derick is up to something, because he always is.  There are reasons why he wants to keep a fan base.

I think maybe she undermashed the potatoes and didn't blend all the ingredients well.  They look lumpy and clumpy as all get out and certainly gag inducing.

It's impossible to have fluffy mashed potatoes if you don't peel the potatoes before you cook them.  Jill is just too lazy to do that and doesn't care if the food looks appetizing or not.

I hope she bothered to wash the potatoes and take off any dirt and black spots, but I wouldn't want to eat them to find out.

It also might have something to do with the cream cheese. If she used a block (especially if she didn’t bring it to room temperature) instead of whipped that it wouldn’t mash into the potatoes.

And yet Derelict is supposed to be the headship and provider.  Nice of Derick to use their limited income to treat himself to air buds (Apple wireless ear buds). Jill used her finest plastic bowl to display her latest culinary masterpiece.

There is also no liquid in her "recipe." Three cups of sour cream, dried onion dip, and 8 ounces of cream cheese do not creamy potatoes make. Why does everything she makes have to be smothered in fake flavoring (onion soup mix, liquid aminos...) rather than be allowed to actually taste like itself? Mashed potatoes are dead simple and Jill can't even get that right.

IMO, the brisket is ruined with all the liquid smoke. Ugh.

[Nysha]

My daughter made a version of these last Thanksgiving without the onion soup using 8 oz sour cream, 8 oz cream cheese, and milk in the potatoes. Hers turned out to be very smooth and yummy. 

[Oldernowiser]

That brisket is just boiled in liquid smoke. No steer should have to die to end up this way.

As for the potatoes... I confess to mashing them with the skins on for more fiber and vitamins, but I wash them carefully, cut out any dark spots and dice them once cooked and before mashing. I don’t let them hang around until they oxidize and turn gray.

We need to designate a brave volunteer to be the only one to visit her “cooking” blog. She shouldn’t make dime one off this unhealthy, unappetizing and/or plagerized semblance of edible substances.

And also, blech.

I think there’s a typo in that recipe title. Instead of party, it should be “partly” mashed. 

Interesting that she says to scrub OR peel the potatoes. I was taught to wash anything that was going to be sliced or peeled, so the knife doesn’t carry whatever may be on the outside, to the inside. Perhaps not necessary?

 

As long as I was there, here are a few of the ads on their blog at the moment:

Wow, I was feeling a little bit guilty over having some Greek yogurt in my dinner tonight (substituting for sour cream). Jill's use of sour cream AND cream cheese in POTATOES is making me secondguess that! Thanks, Jill!

That's what I was wondering! How often do you see a recipe from an American in Celsius? Even if the recipe is passed to an American, and then they share it in turn, the temps are usually translated to Fahrenheit, or high, low, medium heat. Also, it's not given in such precise translations.

Why is she giving the cooking temperature in Celsius? Why are the temps fleshed out to three decimal places? What sort of oven does she have?

Good point. I'd like to add that the recipe came from a friend's grandmother. Grandma XXX uses a lot of emojis when writing down recipes?

[QuinnInND]

Help! My twins just yelled "Yaaaay! when they finished helping daddy with something. I don't want them to sound like Jilly! 

And apparently she's never heard of Claudes sauce. That's what you cook a brisket in. Liquid smoke. Ick. 

[Oldernowiser]

Wow. Good catch. So she just copied and pasted that from someone (another missioncationer?) outside of the US who doesn’t understand “rounding off” as a concept? I was thinking for a split second that she had converted it, because those three decimals have SOTDRT-type logic, but why would she have to convert anything? Unless she “cooked” this in Danger America? But where was she getting liquid smoke and barbecue sauce?

P.S. Mississippi, my ass.
