The best potatoes for mashing in my opinion are Maris Piper,they have a fluffier texture and make great MASH.

First peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in cold water with a sprinkle of salt and bring to the boil checking after about half an hour with a fork to see if they are cooked thoroughly (very important) Drain well and allow them to evaporate for a few minutes. Then MASH thoroughly before adding a little milk or cream depending on number of potatoes used and according to taste. Add ground pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeg again according to taste. If preferred a small amount of finely grated cheese can be added at this stage but don't over do it! Mash again thoroughly for perfect mashed potato and serve

Another opinion

I personally prefer Yukon Golds for mashed potato. They have a buttery consistency and taste that whips easily and eliminates the need for added butter.

And yet another...Definitely real ones. My mom uses russet potatoes (the big brown ones), but we throw in red ones and the yellow ones too. Some people prefer red potatoes. It doesn't really matter.

There are allergies to almost anything. For mashed potatoes, though, you might consider what has gone into the mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes come from the underground roots of plants. Farmers remove the potatoes from underground. Then, the potatoes are sold in stores and at farmer's markets. The potatoes are purchased, washed, peeled, sliced, cooked, and mashed with a potato masher or mixer. Also, instant mashed potatoes come from dried potatoes.
