Heat oven to 425ºF. Mash potatoes in medium bowl until no lumps remain. Add remaining ingredients except 1 tablespoon butter and the ginger. Beat vigorously until potatoes are fluffy.

3
Drop potatoes by 1/2 cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, forming 8 mounds. (Or spoon potatoes into decorating bag and form 8 rosettes.)
