I have great trouble finding a good potato masher. The run of the mill
varieties all seem to have too large holes, and pounding for ages still
leaves lumps. Yuk!! What do you use?

Find one of those Italian things that turn them through a sieve rather like
an old fashioned meat mincer. BUT, the real trick is that once you've
mashed your tatties with an ordinary masher, you take a wooden spoon and
whip it round the potatoes to give a creamier texture, adding extra milk,
cream and butter to your taste. That enhances the texture very much.
