Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Baking potatoes
Provide the starchy flesh that mashes smooth and forms the filling base.
Milk
Adds moisture so the mashed potato becomes soft and spreadable.
Butter
Adds fat for richer flavor and a smoother, fluffier texture.
Mixed vegetables
Add bulk, color, and mild sweetness to the filling.
Cheddar cheese
Melts over the filling and browns on top during the final bake.

The step that matters

Beat the mashed potato until fluffy. Beating the warm mashed potato with butter and milk makes it light and smooth. Overworking cooled or over-beaten potato can turn it gluey because the starch releases too much and sets into a dense paste.

Swap the garlic

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (potato, milk, butter, pepper, cheddar cheese):

  1. Parsleyfits about as well
  2. Thymefits about as well
  3. Dillfits about as well
  4. Garlicthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against potato, milk, butter, pepper, cheddar cheese. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
