Interesting. Do you actually mix the potatoes, eggs  and mayonnaise together?
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Hi Cookie
I did but the texture is not a fine mash but rather rough and chunky ( I mixed for around 3 seconds ). If you prefer a finer potato mash would probably be better if you give it a twirl before adding the rest of the stuff.

Thanks. I think I would prefer it chunky too.
