I don't know about you but I far prefer home made mashed potato's and I don't like them to be like a puree. I like a bit of the skins left on and for them to have a little bit of chunkiness to them.

Some other tricks you can use though? If you don't already, use sour cream to make them more "fluffy". I have also been told you can use a small amount of chicken or beef stock rather than adding salt and you get a good hearty flavor.

From the post:

>It's an age old question: why is mashed potato always so much better when the experts make it? And while many agree the answer is lashings of salt and butter, some chefs insist there is far more to the art of a velvety mash. Inspired by a popular Reddit thread calling on professionals to reveal their secrets, chefs have now spilled their once gate-kept methods - and the gadgets they swear by for an indulgent, creamy result.

Cut the potatoes into small pieces. Boil them until you are able to EASILY turn the biggest piece you can find into mush by pressing a fork through it. Drain the water. Mash while adding butter, milk and sea salt. Add a bit at a time, mix/mash it in until you get the right consistency and taste. Not boiling long enough and adding the milk/salt/butter too quickly is where people screw it up. Take your time and you can have a perfect mash every time.
