# Mashed potatoes are HaAdama. <ref> Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 99) writes that mashed potatoes are HaAdama and explains (pg 251) that since the texture and color are the same as the original vegetable the Bracha is the HaAdama. Halachos of [[Brachos]] (pg 406) quotes Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Rav Sheinburg, and Rav Elyashiv who agree that mashed potatoes are HaAdama. Halacha Brurah 202:25 and Yalkut Yosef 202:22 rule that mashed potatoes are HaAdama. See also Sh"t Yabia Omer 7:29. </ref> | # Mashed potatoes are HaAdama. <ref> Vezot HaBracha (chap 12, pg 99) writes that mashed potatoes are HaAdama and explains (pg 251) that since the texture and color are the same as the original vegetable the Bracha is the HaAdama.

# Many say that instant mashed potatoes are HaAdama since the result retains a resemblance of the original vegetable. <Ref> Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 407, chapter 22) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinburg, and Rav Elyashiv. Rav Yisrael Belsky in Shulchan HaLevi (3:12 p. 37) quotes Rav Moshe Feinstein as saying that instant mashed potatoes are HaAdama. Halacha Brurah 202:25 agrees.</ref> | # Many say that instant mashed potatoes are HaAdama since the result retains a resemblance of the original vegetable. <Ref> Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 407, chapter 22) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman, Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinburg, and Rav Elyashiv.

#Many are of the opinion that since the corn flour is totally unrecognizable, Bamba is Shehakol.<Ref>Vezot Habracha pg. 389</ref> However, some claim that since the corn is grown specifically for Bamba, and there are few ingredients but the puffed corn flour itself, the Beracha remains Haadama.<Ref>Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch vol. 1 Siman 203 Seif 6, where he testifies that he saw his father make a Haadama on Bamba publicly on Pesach. See further Yalkut Yosef vol. 3 on Berachot, page 422 and in the Miluim at the end of the volume. See Halacha Berurah vol. 8 pg 222 who claims like the first opinion in the name of his father that anything that undergoes a change of shape and taste becomes Shehakol. Though he doesn't explicitly reference Bamba, he is widely quoted to disagree with the Yalkut Yosef on this matter by [http://matzav.com/bamba-bracha-blitz popular media outlets] specifically because the corn for Bamba is not grown just for Bamba and such parameters are likely to change.</ref> | |||
