Talk:Smashed potatoes

Smashed potatoes are different from mashed potatoes. I'd be fine with adding a bit about them in the mashed potatoes article, but the smashed potatoes article should not be a simple redirect to mashed potatoes, because they are separate dishes.
 * OK. I've added a bit about them in mashed potato. However, they are definitely NOT different dishes, and it is certainly not correct to claim that "Unlike mashed potatoes, the boiled potatoes are not puréed, but slightly crushed (to yield) a rustic, chunky texture". That supposes that mashed potato is ONLY pureed, and that is not the case. Mashed potato has ranged from chunky to smooth for centuries depending on the cooks, quite a bit longer than those things called blenders which some people use to puree (destroy?) many fruits and vegetables.
