How long should you boil potatoes for mashed potatoes?

[laplus]

Heyy foodies! Quick question on preparing for mashed potatoes. How long do you all boil potatoes before mashing? I've seen various times suggested, but want to nail down a method that ensures they're perfectly soft without becoming too mushy. What's your go-to timing and any specific tips

Depending on the size of the potatoes, I normally boil them for 15 to 20 minutes. Using a fork to test them will reveal the trick: they should be soft but not crumbly.

Till the fork goes in without an issue. Also depends on the potatoes that you use!
