That was my opinion too when I followed the recipe and used the waxy
potatoes called for in the recipe. They were good, but not *that*
good considering how they stuck to the masher. The last time I made
crash potatoes, I used (leftover) russets that I'd cut in half
widthwise and boiled. They didn't stick to the masher, which was a
big plus and crisped up just fine. If I do it again, I will not use a
waxy potatoes.
