Eh?
Back of a spoon


I thought the modern and funky crushed potatoes were the norm cause they were in my house growing up.

I don't like pureed potatoes like Gary Rhodes does.

yup sounds nice

occasionally i'll mash it, place in an oven proof dish, dribble the tiniest amount of olive oil on top and place in the oven for a cripsy top with fluffy mash inside yum yum

That would be too mashed for me.
More like 'Smash'
I like lumpy bits.

A ricer.

it's the best piece of kitchen equipment I've bought.

Once you've used a ricer, you'll never go back.

Smooth, mashed with almost a whole tube of Primula Cheese with Chives squeezed in and a good handful of sliced Spring Onions thrown in for good measure.

Kind of like a Cheesey Champ..... if you see what i mean!!

No, its like the M&S ultimate mash, as long as you don't put too much milk in. If you bake it in the oven for 15 minutes it goes all light and fluffy too. Not like smash at all, thats nasty stuff!

Lumpy bits are good in mash on shepherds pie though!

I'm getting hungry...

I find eating really smooth, perfect mash a bit like eating gravy or marching across an endless tundra plain.

I love lumps, especially if they are notable chunks of potato rather than little floculations.

Ditto. It's my best kitchen implement investment ever.

The problem is, that you can't readily get a nromal potato masher these days!! I always used a normal masher (straight bottom, with the handle coming u from either side of the masher) when i lived with my mum. When i moved into my own place, i couldn't find one like that!! I refuse to get one of those ones that have the one bit of plastic/steel comin from the masher bit. They just don't work!!!!

in my opinion...

What is a Potato Ricer? I love useful gadgets in the kitchen

I tend to mash but my Mum used to use an electric whisk
