I'd use maris piper

i did suggest these to dm - she is the cook/masher but she said they go all soupy

[ZombieBellesZombieAllTheWay]

i use maris piper too, they will go soupy if cooked for too long, bout 35-40 mins is best.

I usually go for Desiree - smooth and fluffy. Same as Delia or if none available had good results with King Edwards. Nowt worse than lumpy mash.

[toomuch2young]

Maris piper, butter, milk, seasoning and use a ricer = perfect mash

[kiwigirl42]

I recently got one of these potato ricers and its wonderful. Best mash ever! Usually use Vivaldi for roast and king edward for mash (or vivaldi, lovely sweet, buttery spuds)
