Right? Just pressure-cook the potatoes in vodka before letting them completely cool and then mash them. Then it's not alcoholism, it's side-dishes.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Vodka can be, and is, made from potatoes. What is that if not the man's closest companion?

That's why I recommend using a pressure cooker instead of boiling them in vodka. Don't let anything evaporate. Boiling potatoes in water to mash them makes watery potatoes. Pressure cooking them in vodka makes the potatoes more potato.

^Note: Please don't actually pressure cook things with vodka. You're just begging for the world's scariest Molotov cocktail on your kitchen counter.^
