Seems about half the authorities say to add the butter first and half say to add the milk or cream before the butter. All with their good reasons! Then some say red potatoes and some say Idaho potatoes. I go back and forth, hoping for enlightenment.
But I'm with your grandmother all the way on the hand mashing part!
I add cream and then mash. Yukon Golds for me.
I contend that they have better flavor and never taste like dirt as some russets do.
I use a masher because the ricer is in the back of a drawer. It starts out in front, but sneaks back at night.
