Dietitian s tip

Russet potatoes, with their low moisture and high starch content, are excellent potatoes for mashing. But other types of potatoes, such as Yukon gold potatoes and round white or round red potatoes, will work too but will make a stickier mash. To make this plant based, use a milk substitute.
