Looks good. I understand that hand mixers are frowned upon in mashed potato circles, but they actually work fine as long as you don’t use them for too long. Over mixing your potatoes will make them gluey and that’s no bueno. Hitting your potatoes with cold tap water for a few seconds after they come out of the boiling pot can also help prevent gluey mashed potatoes. I’ve been told that mixing in a little mayo can help to make them creamier, but I’ve yet to try that.
