The secret to making mashed potatoes sans lumps is to use an electric mixer. I'm gonna have to call your moms out on being stupid if they never did/thought of that.

+1

although, sometimes, if done right, lumpy mashed potatoes aren't so bad.

Many mother figures leave lumps in the potatoes intentionally. A lot of people prefer it that way. I wouldn't expect a slovenly immigrant like yourself to know such subtle customs, so don't feel too bad about it.

I just use the old fashioned masher and it does a good enough job, that and I hate cleaning food processors.

It's because they hate you, after several hours of cramps and screaming agony, you can just go mash it your damn self!

Well, my mom doesn't even know what a potato is, much less how to mash one properly into a sort of socially-approved foodpaste. It was always other people's moms who made mashed potatoes in that endearingly unprocessed way, in my experience; And several people present at such mashing sessions approved of this custom.
