In order
1) yes
2) what?
3) see above
4) what?

Here's what you do

1) boil spuds
2) drain spuds
3) add butter and a splash of milk
4) mash the fuckers

It's really not difficult at all. The wrist action during mashing is quite important though...down and twist.

Strikethrough coming in 3,2,1...

see above for point 3 explaination
if you heat the butter and milk prior to adding the spuds you get a smoother mixture,
the spoon bit at the end is an optional extra.

I can't say I have a problem with lumpy mash
So I don't see the need to over-complicate it for the poor lad.
