Let me tell you, that was a rarity indeed. We were confined to the big tub of Stork SB and any evidence of going anywhere near her butter was deemed a treasonable act in our household.
Butter, bacon fat or cream only should be used in mash. Never, ever put milk in unless you want it runny

It's all about knowing your ingredient quotas. I add a drop of milk, not a lot, just a little. I don't do sloppy spud, I'm meticulously careful when adding.

Sorry but I reckon milk is useful for only three things: poaching smoked fish and turning into cream, butter & cheese

well we had our homemade chicken soup. its a work in progress. put too much rice in so next time will try a bit of pearl barley instead and also we will lose the parsnip. a part from that though was tasty and cheap.

It needs to be of fairly solid texture then the baked beans liquidate well.
Slop is a no-no.
Agreed on the butter and milk. Baked beans with any kind of mash ... nope ... not for me. In fact baked beans (for me) only belong on toast, I don't like the way the sauce permeates and smothers the flavour of everything else on the plate, so I don't even include them in a full English.
Even for putting them on toast, I simmer them until the sauce is reduced to being so thick that it doesn't run anywhere.
Again, of course, each to their own.

I quite often substitute potatoes with Spätzle, a German noodle served with lashings of butter. If you've got a potato ricer, it's easy enough to make your own and home-made is far preferrable to shop-bought
