# A cooked or baked dish made from any other flour other than flour of the 5 grains or rice is [[Shehakol]].

* Gemara: Rav and Shmuel (Gemara [[Brachot]] 37a-b) hold that mixtures made from orez or dochen are not [[mezonot]].

# Mashed potatoes are HaAdama. <ref> Rav Yakov Emden [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=42759&st=&pgnum=217 (Sidur Bet Yakov Birchat Hanehenin Kuf n. 19)] writes that mashed potatoes are haadama even if they are mashed well with a spoon. The Mishna Brurah 202:40-2 writes that mashed potatoes are like the case of mashed dates which we follow Shulchan Aruch and only in the case of jam do we follow the Rama. 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> Rav Yakov Emden [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=42759&st=&pgnum=217 (Sidur Bet Yakov Birchat Hanehenin Kuf n. 19)] writes that mashed potatoes are haadama even if they are mashed well with a spoon.
