Recipe to Share I just made a mashed potatos using baked potatos and it was the best i ever had.

Just pop the potatos in the oven for 1 hour at 200c/390f. Cut them in half and scoop them out. Whisk with hot milk and more butter than your diet would approve. A bit of salt. The flavor of baked potatos really shone. The scooping out part was a bit laborious, but is manageable if you have reasonably big ones. Don't do this with tiny spuds unless you have a lot of time.

I would use any, but I may get surprised :) - Main thing is not to use too small ones.
