my favorite food is mashed potatoes.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Mashed potato (British English) or mashed potatoes (American English), is a dish prepared by mashing boiled potatoes. Cream, garlic and butter are frequently used in preparation. The dish is commonly associated within the United States with holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Recipes started appearing in 1747 with an entry in \"The Art of Cookery\" by Hannah Glasse. Dehydrated and frozen mashed potatoes are available in many supermarkets. The use of \"floury\" types of potatoes is recommended, although \"waxy\" potatoes are sometimes used for a different texture. There are a multitude of \"floury\" types, but the most commonly known include russet, golden wonder, and red rascal potatoes. Butter, vegetable oil, milk and/or cream are usually added to improve flavor and texture, and the potatoes are seasoned with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs and spices. Popular ingredients and seasonings include: garlic, cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, crisp onion or spring onion, caramelized onion, mustard, horseradish, spices such as nutmeg, and chopped herbs such as parsley. One French variation adds egg yolk for \"pommes duchesse\" or Duchess potatoes; piped through a pastry tube into wavy ribbons and rosettes, brushed with butter and lightly browned.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you have a favorite side dish?
