Mashed Red-Skinned PotatoesDitte Isager

Mashed potatoes are at their best when you don't fuss with them too much, and leaving the skins on gives them a rustic, almost rakish air. These harmonize beautifully with a generous splash of the chicken's luxurious gravy , but remember to save room for dessert.

Cooks' note:

Mashed potatoes are best served immediately but can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then covered. Reheat in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring in about 1/4 cup milk.
