How to Mash: Use a potato masher for a rustic texture or an electric mixer to make it easier. If using a mixer, be careful not to overmix which can result in a gummy texture. Beat on medium-low for 15–20 seconds to break up large chunks, scraping the bowl as needed. Increase to medium for 30 seconds, but avoid overmixing.
Make ahead: Prepare as directed, adding ¼ cup cream or milk. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Bring to room temp for 30 minutes, then bake covered at 350°F until hot, about 30 minutes.
