∙ 15y agoDefinately! I've done it many times with delightful results! I do prefer to leave the skins on when I make them. I just boil them, then mash them up with a little milk, butter and salt and pepper. Delicious! I do prefer to leave them a little chunkier than I would if I had made mashed potatoes using Russets. You can mash them up with any number of other ingredients. A little cumbled bacon, some chedder cheese, roasted garlic, etc. Give it a try!

How many potatoes are needed to make 10 servings of mashed potatoes?
It may sound excessive at first, but for 10 people, I would go ahead and peel and prepare the full ten pound bag of potatoes. Some of that ten pounds is water, and a little bit is peel, so you don't end up with 10 lbs of mashed potatoes. I routinely prepare that volume of potatoes, and what you end up with is a very large bowl full of potatoes, true, but that allows both for mashed potatoes for ten, but hopefully, seconds for those who want them.

What type of potatoes do you use for mashed potatoes?
Potato's come in two general varieties, waxy and starchy. The kind you want are the waxy variety, which hold their shape well when cooked in a liquid. The most common that people are familiar with are the red skinned, and the white skinned round potato's. If you are not sure about a particular potato, feel the skin. If it is drier, with a papery texture, it is probably a starchy potato and it will fall apart in a chowder. If the skin feels waxy, that's your best bet.
