Red potatoes with skin, anything else without.

Actually, you can boil any potato with the skin on for mashed potatoes. Most of the vitamins and minerals are located just under the skin. If you peel the potato, there goes the good stuff. If you don't care for the skins either half peel the pots for less skins or use a ricer and the peels will remain in the ricer.

It will be awfully fiddly taking the peel off afterwards, especially if you havent a ricer, if you want to keep the skins on for cooking, why not bake first, then cool a little and then take off the skins. Personally, I have always taken off the peel, and mashed, you do not really lose much , and if mashed with olive oil, until smooth, absolutely smashing.
