they could suck for a few reasons. they weren't properly drained or the potato used had a higher water content naturally, they weren't properly mashed, they didn't have enough butter. the butter thing is the most important, i doubt half a stick will be enough. look at the ungodly amount of butter chef jon is using for 3 large potatoes. he's going overboard in my opinion but you need a higher ratio than what you are intending to use. anyways you can easily adjust that until you get the right texture you want.

another thing you could try is pic related, it gives a finer mash but i've never tried it. if you don't feel like buying one you can just press the potatoes through a colander but id be too lazy for that too.
