    Tips:

    Instead of wrecking the entirety of your cooking when introducing something that may not work so well, put a small amount of the new thing in your mouth with a bit of what you’re cooking.

    In this case, take a spoonful of mashed potato without swallowing and then a sip of chocolate milk . Do you want an entire bowl of that?

    Sometimes even just smelling one with a taste of the other is enough to decide.

    Also, try a big spoonful of sour cream in your homemade mashed potato along with your regular seasonings. Awesome.

      Mm, I guess for your everyday taste test this works. This would absolutely work as far as determining whether or not chocolate milk potatoes would be good. However, there are meals where completely incongruous ingredients blend perfectly due to how they’re cooked.

      Sometimes you must be adventurous.
