Notes

I use Yukon gold potatoes as I feel they get to the ready to mash state much more quickly than russets or red potatoes.  I also don't peel them as the peels are so thin they mash well, which saves time in the kitchen.

If you don't have an oven safe skillet, you can bake the pie in a 9x9 baking dish as pictures.  This only adds a bit to the dishes that need to be washed which is why I often opt for the skillet.
