It's not fast or easy. Peeling, boiling, mashing, getting the butter, salt, milk ratio just right. Messy splatters, potato bits all over. I use a potato ricer so that gets messy too. I make them maybe 3 times a year because it's a pain.[/quote]

An electric mixer is faster and easier [/quote]

If you don't know what you're doing an electric mixer can result in gluey potatoes.  So if someone has been using a box mix I wouldn't recommend starting with a mixer.

You could do skin on mashed red potatoes which eliminates peeling.  For me, peeling is the worst part of mashed potatoes.

I personally don't use a box mix.  I kind of just eyeball them and taste them.  My mom made them with sour cream when I was a kid and I like that flavor profile.[/quote]

Yes, I love them with sour cream! So does my family, but they don't know it. They all insist they do not like sour cream so I have to be sneaky in adding it or they won't eat them! (The actually eat several dishes with sour cream unknowingly!)[/quote]
