Mashed potatoes are a favourite in our house too Huda!! Try boiling the potatoes whole, with the skins on (but washed), then once cooked and cool enough to handle, remove the skins. You get max nutritional value this way as most of the nutrients are just under the skin. I've been using a whole egg (or 2) instead of butter and milk/cream when mashing... gives the most wonderful colour if you use free range eggs and a fantastic fluffy consistency! The heat of the still hot potato 'cooks' the egg/s providing you get them in before the potatoes cool too much. An Irish tweek is to add shredded cabbage and we love it with a few green onions (eschallots/spring onions) finely chopped and added just before serving.. very, very tasty. Thanks for sharing your herbed creamy mash! xox

thanks dear allots for the tips, love them ;-)
for the potatoes, i do sometimes boil the potatoe whole, and used to do that ALWAYS before, but when i'm in a hurry, i cut them to cubes cz it takes less time to cook, and can mash them immediatelly .. what to do , sometimes there's almost NO TIME to cook as u wish !!
sometimes i keep some with the skin and mash them with the skins, liked it as well..
Potatoes are just so delicious in any way u prepare them :-D

another really nice addition is to add two or three cloves of smashed garlic to the potatoes as they boil - then 'mash' them with the spuds for garlicky mashed potatoes!! major YUM!
