Anyone own a potato ricer?

[Halex]

I am thinking of buying one, just wanted to know if you have one.

Do you use it regularly?

Thanks

What would you use it for Hally?

I had one pre-TMX but gave it away Hally - I never used it much, just another gadget to clean.

[obbie]

no, never had one.

NO IDEA, LOL

Dont have one so thought  I might need one,

I had one from Aldi which made great mash but I have a TMX now!  The boys use it for playdough now!

I love, love, love my potato ricer. I don't like mashed potatoes made in my thermie.
I prick my whole, unpeeled, washed potatoes and cook them in the microwave. I cut them in half when cooked and put them through my ricer. I then stir in some butter, warm milk, with a little salt. Quick, easy and yummy mash

Might have to get mine back from the boys!

Sand would add another dimension to mashed potatoes. You could use it for gnocchi Hally.

I have one and when DD makes gnocchi this is what she uses, I use it for mashed potato too it's really easy to use

Great for mashed potato (especially sweet potato). Can be a bit painful to clean in my opinion.  That is mostly because they are quite long.  Brilliant for gnocchi apparently. I haven't tried making my own gnocchi.

Must drag mine out again, I just don't like mashed potato in the TMX. The ricer is a pain to clean, but it makes gorgeous mash.

I have one and have found it to be a waste of time. I can get just as good mashed potato with a masher and a bit of elbow grease! However, if you are making something like fish pie, it's great to put cooked potatoes in the ricer and hold it above the pie so that little worms of potato come out all over the fish pie mix. If you leave the potato as it is, when baked, it becomes really crispy and looks fantastic. That the only time I use my potato ricer now.

i did have one or 2  i have found that they break very easily

i think a passatutto does a  better job

I used to have one of these - excellent kitchen tool (must admit though I never knew this is what it was called!! )  Unfortunately, it seemed to disappear during a move . . Just be sure to get one with 2 or 3 interchangeable bases
