Should you soak potatoes before mashing?

1. Soak the baking potatoes for just a few minutes in cold water to release some of their starch so the cooked spuds don't get gluey. A combination of starchy bakers and more waxy, buttery Yukon Golds creates an ideal creamy-yet-fluffy final texture in the mash.
