I don’t peel my potatoes when I mash them! I’ve always heard that there is more vitamins in the peel, so… (really, I’m just lazy.) My family loves them that way.

Good catch Carol, I hadn’t noticed that! But I do have two separate references that mention baking soda OR baking powder to help make the mashed potatoes fluffier, I clarified that above. Thanks!

I looked at the tip of adding baking soda, I went back to the source and you had baking powder. Which one do you use? Thanks.

Better than using a fork after mashing, keep an eye out for a vintage potato masher. Modern ones are a metal plate with various holes in it. the older ones are a single thick wire sticking out of the handle and then running across in a deep wave. basically it mashes and whips in the same movement. they are worth their weight in gold and you need to be careful not to mash too much or you will end up with thoroughly whipped potatoes very easily.

I put in a few spoonfuls of cheesewhiz to give my mashed potatoes a cheesy flavor.
