What is the best way to mash potatoes?
A. The best thing to use is a potato ricer, and the next best thing is a food mill. These two gadgets work so well because the potatoes achieve a uniform texture as they pass through evenly sized holes, and they get smashed only once. With these methods, the potatoes’ cell walls are much less likely to break open, and the texture will remain light, fluffy and creamy.
