Interesting,
I’ve generally boiled the potatoes, then added loads of butter, then smashed with a large balloon whisk, then beat the fcuk out of it, seasoned it. then transferred to a ceramic dish, covered with heap of grated Gruyère cheese, oven baked for twenty minutes..
Turns out making mash potato is better when you bake the potatoes for an hour and then put them through a sieve
Time consuming, but ultimately, a gamechanger.
