This is part one of 2 videos. I will be uploading an Irish Potato Cakes video using these mashed potatoes in a few days.
Yukon gold potatoes actually aren't very common in Ireland. Also, spell it St. Patrick. People in Ireland got mad at me when I uploaded Irish food videos last St. Patrick's Day and I spelled it St. Patty. That's also how I found out Yukon gold isn't common there. It makes great mashed potatoes and potato cakes nonetheless.
I made it in a deep dish pan because it's easier to record. A sauce pan is recommended. You may use an electric blender. I prefer mashing by hand. I prefer it a bit chunky.
