For the best texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes. Their creamy texture lends itself perfectly to mashing. Don't overmix the potatoes! Overmixing releases too much starch, resulting in a gluey texture. Warm the milk or cream before adding it to the potatoes. This helps the potatoes absorb the liquid more evenly and prevents them from cooling down too quickly. For a different flavor profile, try roasting the garlic before mincing. Roasted garlic adds a mellow sweetness to the mashed potatoes.
