The best mashed potato (in my humble opinion) is made using Cara potatoes. I think that different potatoes produce different flavour mash. In 2009 I grew Rooster potatoes, which were nice, but not as nice as Cara.
I planted 30 seed potatoes last year, dug them out in October, and am still eating them. Sizes ranged from bramley apple to big-fist sized. They store well and seem to make the best mashed potato.
How to make the mash
I don't do anything fancy to them, peel, chop into chunks, boil in sightly salted water until tender, drain, chop up and mash with a masher or ricer.
I then season well with salt & pepper, add a good knob of butter, a splash of milk & mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
