Julia Child goes a step further.. After they drain, she puts them back
in the pot, over low heat, then starts mashing them there. The heat
dries out the residual moisture left in the potatoes, so you don't
have watery mashed potatoes. This step is really important.

Then, you can start adding butter and cream.
