A potato masher and a little arm muscle is fastest and easiest for clean up.

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.
An electric mixer is faster and easier

Actually- use Yukons or red potatoes with thin skins. Throw them in a pressure cooker and steam for 20-30 mins. Then mash! Easy peasy

Potatoes, unless I'm backpacking. The boxed flakes are good for a trail meal, but that's about it.

maybe I’m doing it wrong, but the potatoes stay in the pot and don’t get all over when I mash them and no splatters. I just serve them in the pot.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Potato. It is fast and easy and unprocessed.

Boxed only for camping, never at home.

I don't peel my potatoes, never have. The skin has a lot of the nutrition. The butter/milk/salt ratio is not an exact science, its ok if its not the same each time.

Always from a box. It's what I grew up with and I can never get the right consistency when I try to make them from scratch.

My wife loves mashed potatoes, but doesn't care for the boxed kind, so I make them from potatoes.

Potatoes. The boxed ones always have a peculiar flavor.

Do you make mashed potatoes from actual potatoes or from the box?
