Are mashed potatoes just a starch version of icecream?

[SandyCat]

Vanilla icecream and mashed potatoes pretty much look the same if you squint hard enough

Yes and you can eat them from a cone.

Add sugar to mashed potatoes and see what happens. It’s weird. I saw Tammy Fae Bakker do this once on her PTL show.

Mashed Potatoes are just Irish guacamole.

Sweet potato ice cream exists.

Sweet potato ice cream exists.

Purple yam ice cream is popular in Asia IIRC.

I'd try it.

Ground beef is also pretty much icecream but they don't want you to know.

I believe rock salt is used in the creation of home-made ice cream, along with actual cream. So no, I don't think mashed potatoes are really comparable. As you can't pound cream until it solidifies. And if you were to freeze it, for some reason, and then mash it, it'd end-up being a watery mess.
