Beautiful. Makes my mouth water.

That’s a potato ricer. It’s actually a pretty old-school Italian tool. It is a must for anybody that loves to shovel mashed potatoes into their face because it makes the best (and fastest) mashed potatoes ever. This tool is so smart you don’t have to peel the potatoes. Just cut them in half as shown, drop it in the ricer and plunge. Mashed potatoes in the bowl and the skin is left in the ricer. It took literally a minute to do all six potato halves.

Shop around for a good ricer. Don’t get a plastic one, and be sure to get one with very sturdy handles. The cheaper ones will just bend and be useless after your fourth or fifth potato.

Cheers Kate!

But as a latke maker, I have to demand an answer: what was the contraption you used to grate the potatoes so quickly, and why has it been kept a secret from me all these years?
