What bracha do we say on mashed potatoes? Does it matter how mashed etc.?
I am thinking that it will be either Hadoma or Shehakol, and it does depend on how mashed, but these are just wild guesses.
So, do we say that since it lost its form it is Shehakol, or is a mashed potato still a potato and thus Hadoma? Or maybe it depends on how much it is mashed? If it is very mashed, then Shehakol but if it is chunky then Hadoma?
Again, these are all just guesses, so I am looking for authoritative answers backed up with sources.
Answer
According to this site, the bracha is ha'adama, no matter what:
"There are some fruits and vegetables which even after a thorough mashing are recognizable due to their unique texture. The examples I know for sure are bananas, eggplant, and potatoes. Therefore, finely mashed potatoes are nevertheless Ha’adoma."
