I primarily use the masher for mashed potatoes, but it's also great for mashing beans and veggies, especially slow-cooked tomatoes for homemade tomato sauce," she says. However, if your ideal mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy with a consistent texture, a potato ricer should be your tool of choice. Medium holes work best for creating homemade spaetzle or for mashing hard-boiled eggs for egg salad. If you prefer chunkier mashed potatoes and pulpier citrus juices, these larger holes will work better for your needs. Though the hopper size is on the smaller side (fitting about one small-sized potato at a time), you can use both peeled and unpeeled potatoes to mix up your mashed potato recipes. Other reviewers note that it takes some muscle to close the press, but overall it’s an excellent and reliable option for longevity and consistency.This potato ricer from Speensun is similar to the OXO Good Grips ricer with one important difference: this one comes with three interchangeable discs that allow you to create “rice” in three different sizes. You can use ricers for a lot more than making fluffy mash potatoes. But just how versatile your ricer is will depend on the size of the holes in the hopper. Overall, this potato ricer is a great lightweight option that helps easily make delicious mashed potatoes.

If you are looking for something a bit more compact and easier to clean than the Norpro, the OXO Good Grips ricer is a great choice. For this one, you will have to cut your potatoes and other large veggies up into large chunks to fit them in the medium-sized hopper. But the ease of use with this gadget is worth a little extra work. In the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts test hundreds of kitchen products a year, from chef's knives to meat thermometers and hundreds of other kitchen gadgets. We leaned on our expertise and hundreds of hours of categorical testing to round up the best potato mashers you can buy. Though we haven't formally tested potato mashers in the Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab, our experts weighed in on what makes a great masher, considering things from each masher's construction to its ease of cleaning and special features to make mashing any number of foods easier. Fine holes are perfect for creating ultra-smooth mashed potatoes and veggie purees. They also work well for making non-pulpy citrus juice and for pressing water out of fine greens and shredded potatoes. Just pop your boiled spuds into the basket and squeeze the handles for silky smooth mash ready for pairing with bangers, topping shepherd’s pie, making colcannon, filling fishcakes and potato croquettes, and so much more – you could even use it for mashing veg or baby food.Depending on the consistency you want your mashed potatoes or foods to be, you'll want to pay attention to the hopper's hole sizes. Some potato ricers come with interchangeable discs that make them more versatile and able to mash more foods. Others only come with one disc and can be more limiting in what you can use your potato ricer for if you're looking to make more than mashed potatoes or to mash softer foods. Potato ricers look similar to a garlic press and create rice-like potato pieces while incorporating air in the pressing process, which makes for a light and fluffy potato texture. Potato mashers require a methodical press and twist motion to mash up potatoes for a silky consistency. Potato mashers are a better choice if you like to make mashed potatoes with the potatoes' skins, but not if you want a more whipped and fluffier texture. Due to its size, this potato ricer is on the heavier side and is not the best option for those with small hands or hand pain issues. Some reviewers noted that due to the basket having holes on all four sides, it's essential to close the handles slowly to prevent mash from squeezing out the top. Before you can decide which ricer is best for you, you’ll need to understand how these clever devices work.
