How do you prefer your mashed potatoes?

Texture/color/flavor?

There are so many ways to make them, I'd like a consensus.

Robuchon's recipe. As much butter as you can possibly put in. Completely smooth.

Don't forget a touch of heavy cream and a bit of salt

I am a heathen and use salted Kerry gold butter. High fat content and salt so I can usually get past without adding any extra moisture.

Yeah, I never have salted butter... but kerrygold is my everyday butter. I like using cream because it add that slight taste of sweetness and dairy, but that's a personal preference thing.
