Not a fan of the golds...too starchy.

Red potatoes, easy. Red potatoes are best for everything except fries. And they ain't bad for that if you can find some big ones.
* I like all of them though.

Russet Burbank for velvety smooth potato puree.

I like to mix up a few different types. Yukon, red and even russet.

I think you are correct. For a standard mashed potato, I think I prefer Idaho. For a sour cream based mashed potato, I prefer reds.

Yea, a mix is the best. I mix some Yukons and reds. Cut down on the starchiness, the waxiness of the Yukons goes away, and the reds get a boost from the volume of the Yukons.

Reds. And leave a little skin on there when peeling.

I came to say Idaho.
Read until here.
Agreed.
Glad I see some people agree.
Butter and some salt, a little bacon, tiny bit of cheddar, maybe some pepper, thinly sliced green onion, and another little pat of butter on top of the serving

The key with any potato is to put it back on the heat after its drained to get all the water out

why did you ask this and then tell 2 people they are wrong?

Red potatoes. I always add powdered buttermilk, water and mix with a hand mixer.

Yukon gold is the worst. I tried making some with them recently and they would not mix well.
White potatoes are perfect. Red potatoes are good too.
