To achieve the best textured mash, allow the freshly cooked and drained potatoes to “air dry” in the colander for 10 minutes. This enables the excess moisture to evaporate before you return your potatoes to the saucepan and begin mashing. For extra smooth mash, push the potatoes through a ricer before mixing with butter and cream or milk.
