How to Make Mashes Potatoes

...or maybe not. I was shocked by this, not just because I didn't expect Paul McCartney to demonstrate cooking on camera, but because he so clearly does not want to be doing this. What people will do for love...or obligation. I'll warn you, it's a little long, but even if you only watch a minute or two, you'll get the idea.

Hee hee. I love our Macca, but I have to agree he's not the most riveting of TV cooks.
Thanks for digging up this little gem, Robyn; I'm forwarding it to Chris and Jann at the studio … they'll love it!
