Notes: 

1)In Step 3, make sure the potatoes are cooked well before mashing. Potatoes are well cooked when they start to fall apart. Uncooked potatoes will mash to a gluey texture. 

2)Timing to mash your potatoes in Step 4 is based on personal preference. If you prefer a more chunky texture, do not mash too long. 40 seconds will mash your potatoes till a smooth texture.
