If you try to beat or whip them with a mixer, you run a very serious risk of ruining your potatoes by making them gluey.
Not a risk you want to take on Thanksgiving Day.
I would also make a lot extra. To the pp who suggested 10 potatoes for 12 people, oh please. Make more than you need. It's potatoes. Leftovers are good and it's not cool to run out.
You honestly have to be a dunce in the kitchen if you can't manage to not over mix your mashed potatoes with an electric mixer. I make mashed at least once a month and you literally turn the mixer on low, run it around the bowl for 30 seconds and done. Even my 15yr old can manage this task.
