Potato Ricer

Do you have a potato ricer? My mother had one, and that is the only reason I know about them. It is a very handy item. I mainly use it to prepare potatoes or sweet potatoes to add to baked goods. Here it is sitting in a bowl:



First, I "nuked" a smallish sweet potato:




Broke it into pieces and put it in the ricer:



Then closed the ricer and "riced" the sweet potato:



Here it is all ready:



I like to add white or sweet potatoes to bread and rolls particularly, so this makes it easy and quick and removes any tough bits.

    I used to have one but it was donated a couple of years ago. The texture on the potatoes is always so creamy when using a potato ricer.

    Have a blessed week.

    I too had a ricer but it was a casuality of the down size. As long as we live in this 5th wheel I have to canstantly refrain from my habit of aquiring things.

    Thank you, Mely!

    Debbieo, if I lived in a very small place, I would not have one either... particularly if I did not use it very often!

    I have a ricer and have used it to squeeze out excess water from thawed (frozen) spinach. It works well.
