it would be mashed potato but it would be baked style It matters not whether you boiled, baked or steamed the potato, the end result is 'mashed potato' Are you guys seriously arguing over this?
To make baked mashed potatoes, first boil peeled and diced potatoes until tender. Mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with cheese and breadcrumbs, and bake until golden brown.
You can boil it, fry it, bake it, roast it, au gratin it, mash it, hash brown it, potato salad it, but one of my favorites is to throw it into the campfire until its all charred on the outside and tender on the inside. So good.

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.
Yes, you can boil chicken to thaw it out. Although it is better to thaw meat like this in cold water. Thawing by boiling will make the chicken really fall apart when baked.
1)boil them 2)take them out of water 3)put in a bowl with a little milk and butter 4)mash with a fork/masher/hand mixer
No, use a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skin. You should then cut the potato(es) into uniform pieces (usually about an inch) so that they cook evenly. Drain when they're fork tender. Sweet potatoes takes longer to cook than regular potatoes. You can also par-boil them before baking them as "candied yams", or just bake them in their skins for a tasty baked treat.

Yes because the temperature it hotter in the stove than in water. It takes longer for water to boil then a potatoe to cook. And baked taste better. (2) I have a different view. Baked potatoes are usually cooked whole or in large chunks and in order to be baked they must be cooked in the oven - it takes time and energy to bring an oven up to the right temperature and you have to heat the whole volume of the oven to do so - that is not cost effective. It takes less time to bring a pot of water to the boil to boil potatoes especially if you start with hot water from the tap - you only need to raise the temperature a few degrees. And you are only heating the volume that will actually be used for cooking, not the whole oven. Furthermore, potatoes, especially if they are going to be mashed or used for potato salad, can be cut into small pieces beforehand, this further reduces the boiling time. As a rough rule of thumb I would say that a potato that took 45 minutes to bake whole would only take about 10 minutes to boil if peeled and cut into quarters first.
