For extra flavor, try roasting a head of garlic and adding the roasted cloves to the potatoes when mashing. Avoid over-mixing the potatoes, as this can lead to a gluey texture. If the potatoes seem dry after baking, add a splash of milk or cream before serving. These mashed potatoes can also be baked in individual ramekins for an elegant presentation.
