How can you cook mashed potatoes with French fries? One's boiled & mashed and the other's deep fried.
If you put your mash in the oil with the fries, you'd end up with a load of crunchy bits of spud, and if you put your fries in the boiling water for the mash, you'd end up with very soggy fries!

What a peculiar question. French fries are thin potato chips that are fried whereas mashed potatoes are boiled until soft and mashed with milk and butter.I personally can't see the connection unless you have a meal with both mash and fries accompanying the main ingredient.,but I can't envisage cooking them together.
