Taters, as long as they're not that powdered crap.

yes.

I'm actually interested...

posters should also post the region of LA in which they came from...or if you are out of state which state you came from.

ETA: if we get enough of these I will post the results. But we need to get a good sample size.

With gravy? Rice.

Mashed is my least favorite way to eat potatoes, but if I eat them, I'd rather them just be buttery or cheesy or garlicky.

Gravy goes on rice for me. Especially with roast or something. Rice won't stick to my roast the way mashed potatoes do

Good ole EBR. Central, to be exact. Rice was made somewhat often at home, but was made every single day at my grandparents' house.. who are both from Basile.. which is what? Evangeline Parish? That's what the google says.

Two different types of gravies. "Rice" gravy is made from roast drippings. "Potato" gravy is usually a thicker mushroom/onion gravy. At least that's how i was raised.

Rice, unless it's hamburger steak with onion/mushroom gravy, or white gravy with chicken fried steak. Those are the only 2 acceptable uses for mashed taters.
