Cook the potatoes with salt in the water. That way all the potato absorbs the salt Warm coffee cream then add the butter to melt
Pour over partially mashed potatoes and finish mashing
When done put a big dollop of butter in top. Corner. Let melt.

You missed my favorite “pro tip” – after you’ve drained them, before you do anything else, put the pan back over a low heat and wait for the steam to disappear. Pulling the excess moisture out of them leaves more room for delicious cream! It makes a surprisingly big difference to the end result.

I also like to add cream cheese to the potatoes. It doesn’t result in a cheese flavor, just a lovely silky richness.

In reply to Annabel Smyth. I find boiling the potatoes works just fine, no sogginess here :) Perhaps you're over-boiling them.

How about bubble and squeak? Surely the most traditional way to use leftover mashed potato.

Never boil your potatoes – they go soggy! Steam them, you get a much better result, and it doesn’t take any longer. Also, in terms of what to do with leftovers – you have forgotten bubble and squeak (left-over mash mixed up with cooked greens and possibly onions, and fried!).
