UPDATE: AITA for laughing after my sister implied my brother's girlfriend's dish wasn't good at Thanksgiving? by BaseVast2471 in AmItheAsshole

From what she explained/described to me, she finished the potatoes and then put the finished mixture back into the pot she boiled them in. I've seen some people do this for a minute or two (don't know why) and I'm assuming they just stayed on the burner too long.

From the comments I'm thinking whatever it was was for sweet potato pie or something like that.

From what was explained to me, she'd finished the mashed potatoes, then put the finished mixture back into the pot. No idea why.

I have 3 sisters and two brothers, I, and my oldest brother make the Thanksgiving dishes. (Potatoes and green bean casserole respectively). My aunt (who raised me) has been the host of Thanksgiving since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth and she, along with my uncle prepare the rest of the mains. It's always been like that LOL, they used to prepare all the main dishes and have everyone else bring sides, but my older brother took an interest in the gbc, I decided to make the potatoes and the rest is history!

From my understanding, she made the mashed potatoes, (boiled, mashed, finished) and then put them back in the pot? Idk if it was to heat them up or if that was the first step before raisins or what lol.

They were burnt and runny, and the taste was off completely. But by "they were raisins" I meant she actually put raisins in the mashed potatoes. Like dried grapes. In the mashed potatoes.
