Did you mash them or whip them with a mixer? How exactly did you arrive
at "mashed" potatoes? That can make a big difference in the outcome.
I usually use my stand mixer and 99% of the time they come out
wonderfully, but if you overmix them the starch develops (I believe?)
and that is when you get into trouble with gumminess developing.
