Mashed potatoes are naturally calorie dense, particularly in carbohydrates. “I have substituted potatoes for cauliflower, which is delicious.

ON NOVEMBER 5, 2018, some 2,000 miles west of Cape Horn, a monster wave picked up Jean-Luc Van Den Heede’s 36-foot sailboat and pitched it end over end, knocking the sleeping skipper against the side of his cabin.
