Epic mashed potatoes could be enjoyed in borrowed clothes, but they wouldnt be possible without my potato ricer!

Even the best potato mashers require several rounds of stamping onto the boiled potatoes to make them lump-free.
By contrast, a potato ricer works the potatoes in small batches, so they never get gummy.
It is a simple lever gadget.
Out flow strands of super-fluffy mashed potatoes that become even smoother when warm milk and melted butter are added.
Instead, I halve the potatoes, boil them, drain them, and cool them.
you’re able to even do a few potatoes before removing the peels that have accrued.
The Best Potato Ricer is A Simple One
My carry-on-worthy potato ricer isa simple version from OXO.
It has soft handles and non-slip knobs that hold it over a pot or bowl while in use.
It is also easy to clean and dishwasher safe thanks to its stainless steel body.
OXO also makes athree-in-one potato ricer, which gives you the option to change the consistency of your potatoes.
you’re free to use a potato ricer beyond mashed potatoes, too.
It is the ideal tool for getting fluffy purees for other potato-based dishes likegnocchiorpotato pancakes.
It is great for getting moisture out of shredded potatoes forhash brownsor sauteed spinach for spinach dip and spanakopita.
Once you get your own potato ricer, youll never go back to a masher again.
