Best potatoes for mashed potatoes?

[YT2095]

Kestrel or Desiree make good mashers also.

I`m with Ishbel too, Charlotte are Great for salad spuds and BBQ quite nicely as well.

For usual mashed, I use Yukons; for smashed I like Reds.

When I make white mashed potatoes they're Yukon Gold, unless something else is a lot less expensive, but more often I make mashed sweet potatoes with just a touch of cinnamon along with the butter, milk, salt and pepper. If anyone can taste the cinnamon I've used too much.

I am with you on this one Veloce...Yukon Golds are such rich delicious potatoes for making white mashed potatoes...I used to make mine with Russets for the longest time and have only recently discovered the wonder of Yukon Gold, but sweet potatoes win out above all.
