I never realised there was another option to a masher!
What's a potato ricer?
Never thought of using the hand whisk before, masher does the job fine.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

Thanks for the piccie of a ricer.
I never realised using a masher was such an effort. Maybe I'm just young and fit.:rotfl:
Honestly though, maybe because I only cook spuds for two or three people at a time, it never seems hard. Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

I remember years ago when I was on a Y.T.S placement (rememeber them? ) :rolleyes2 I worked in a kitchen and they used a big mixing machine for mashing potaotes. A bit like a Kenwood Chef. And my brother - in- law who used to be a chef always used an electric whisk for his mash, so I have too. It makes lovely smooth mashed potatoes x:j0

I use a normal potato masher. I dont like whisked potatos. My grandma still uses a fork to do it. I once tried using just a fork and my arm nearly fell off lolJeremyMarried 9th May 20090

I've used them all, ie masher, ricer and whisk. I find the best is to use a masher to mash with the butter and then a fork to whisk in the milk or cream.
However I'm open to suggestions.0
