One night I was making mashed potatoes and I put in too much milk. So in the end I didn't have mashed potatoes I had a kind of potato chowder that was really, really good. I've made it since all on it's own instead of as a side dish to a meal. I've made a lot of things from mistakes that, with a little consideration, came out great.
