Have you tried par boiling them first?

I thought everyone did that.

and then bash them about in the pot until they are rough and fluffy.
Boil them a little too long then they will fall, something early
potatoes never do, I often wonder why. also why are some varieties more
likely to do this than others? Of course if you don't boil them long
enough they are hard inside.
