I've found the key to a great mashed potatoe, is to heat the milk and butter in a pan before pouring it over your potatoes. This results in a very light mashed potatoe with no chunks. Margarine is just fine to use as well.

My mashed potatoes tend to be rich as I use a lot of butter. I don't like how margerine or synthetic spreads taste for mashed spuds. All natural and simple for me: spuds, butter, milk/cream. Depending maybe some garlic too. That's it.
