I prefer to use a whisk!When potatoes are mashed add in the cream mixture a little at a time, stirring after each addition.Use the reserved chicken broth and/or half n half to thin out your potatoes to the perfect consistency.

I like mine thick and creamy so I usually only add in a few tablespoons of half nhalf and chicken broth.
13

I usually add in about 3-4 tablespoons of butter as well.

AGAIN my preference
