Almost never. It's just me at home, and I'm watching my calories to keep reasonably lean (for a 40s guy who works at a desk), so it's at most a few baby potatoes or a single small sweet potato at one sitting. Not worth the effort to mash them normally.

Only time I do is generally when I do Shepherd's Pie, and I usually use Japanese sweet potatoes for them. They just bake with the flesh on and then you can literally pop them out of the skin so there's not much point in peeling them.
If you've never tried them the Satsuma-Imo sweet potatoes are incredibly delicious. They're literally eaten as a snack there 'as-is', just baked and sold.

too bad. mashed taters are my absolute favorite :D
 
actually last time I made potatoes I cheated. Scrubbed them clean with skin on, steamed them in a small instapot while I prepped panko breaded cutlets. Took them out and smashed them flat on a cookie sheet and dried them out a little in the oven, topped with cheese and green onions and the result is a weird mix up between a potato skin/baked/smashed but not quite mashed. No peeling invovled, and very little effort while I prepped other things. And way faster than a standard baked potato.

my son-in-law loves potatoes, so much so he usually sets up a couple hundred bags to grow every year. he grows them in bags as they have excellent drainage...it does rain an awfully lot in PR. anyhow, last year's harvest I think he said he pulled out somewhere between 400 - 600lbs. he also grows a lot of different varieties, especially if he's not had them before. he built a big wood box out of lumber (rat proof!) that's probably a bit more than 1m cubed and it's got so many potatoes left and I curse most of them as they're smaller than fingerlings. doesn't take long to peel one, but they're bloody fiddly and it does take a lot longer to peel enough to eat. :P

My brother married the daughter of a Potato Farmer. They live on the farm in Westham Island in Delta. If you bring up potatos to his father in law you will not be able to end that conversation.
