Thanks, folks. I think I have a manual masher that belonged to my grandmother. I'll see if I can find it.
I've always used the mixer, probably because I thought that the physical force needed to get them light/fluffy, is more than I have ... maybe not. I recall my uncle mashed fabulous taters, by hand. But, he was a carpenter who did heavy lifting, and pounding, every day, and had very muscular arms. (Get out the weights, Divtal!
)
As for the potatoes that I use, I only choose "Russet" potatoes for a mash. I'm not wild about most of the more waxy consistency, of other kinds.
Hadn't heard the song, for ages!
