Yes sometimes i have a problem with baked, mashed or any potatoes. I think too fibrous, and stodgy. Also do you have the potato mashed with milk and butter, because it could be the dairy maybe?
I was going to reply with a similar question to casares8, if you have milk and/or butter in your mash it could be that? That's what would cause me problems with it.

Hi HannahKS, thank you for your answer. No, just potato, no dairy added at all π
Ah, yes. That could be it - I never thought of that. Thank you π. I'll avoid white potatoes from now on. Perhaps I could use sweet potato when I fancy mash and see how I am with that. Thanks, Little_toad.
