peel and boil potatoes, when you can stick a fork through them there done, drain off the water, add a pinch of salt, a couple tablespoons butter/margarine to taste, and a little milk to make it creamy, Then use a beater to mix them.
Boil the potatoes till tender, then mash with a little milk, butter, salt and pepper.
Variations: add some garlic
add a spoonful of mayo (I know!) for extra-creamy potatoes
add sour cream
add cheese
Or, add a combination of these!
Peel, quarter, & boil the potatoes first.
Mash with some added milk & butter.
Quantities are to your own tastes.
A nice addition is to add some roasted garlic cloves.
Boil potatoes til done, drain water, mash with masher, add butter , mash, then add milk to desired consistency, add sourcream at end, will make creamier
All of the above are good ways to do easy mashed potatoes. But remember--you don't have to peel them. I never do and they're still great. You also don't have to mash them until they're completely smooth (lumps can be good). I use a stand mixer (like a kitchen aid) and just throw everything I plan to mix in on top of the potatoes and turn it on.
ok put the potatoes on a boil until you can easy stick a fork through one then put them in a bowl add milk an d mash them up add salt pepper if you like that :):):)

I like red skinned potatoes. I just wash them off, boil with the skins on, when fork tender, drain and mash with salt, pepper, butter, and milk ( or cream) You can also add some garlic salt or powder and sour cream.
Absolute basics are Idaho potatoes, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. I usually add a bit of sour cream to mine as well, gives them a great flavor.
