The unfortunate answer is, there really isn't anything you can do. You most likely overcooked, or overworked them, or both. Overworking them is most likely the culprit, either by putting them in a food processor, using a hand blender, or whipping them too much. This damages the cell walls, causing them to release excessive amounts of starch, which in turn becomes like a paste or a glue.
Next time, try to cook the potatoes just to the point where they are soft and will easily "MASH", but don't overdo the mashing. When you add the milk and butter, try to fold them in gently, and let the potatoes absorb the liquid, rather than "whipping" them. The less you mash and manipulate the potatoes, the better your results will be.
