Creamy Mashed Potatoes

The trick that turns home mashed potatoes into restaurant-grade mashed potatoes: bake the potatoes instead of boiling them. Boiling waterlogs the flesh and dilutes the flavor; baking concentrates the starch and lets you fold in cream and butter without ending up with potato soup. Bonus: they hold for two days in the fridge.
