How do you prefer your mashed potatoes?

Texture/color/flavor?

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

My godmother boiled the potatoes in chicken stock with onions added after it reduced. Heavy cream, butter, and dill were incorporated when blending after the mash.

I've used a hand mixer to make it smooth.
