My sister-in-law was really excited at Christmas time, because she got me a fabulous present! She had been telling me for several weeks that she couldn’t wait until I opened her present, so I knew it had to be good. When I tore off the paper last week, my face lit up when I saw what she got me:
A potato ricer!
These things are pretty neat, because they can mash potatoes, cut butter for pastry dough, or strain leafy vegetables before you use them in a recipe. This tool was really exciting for me, because I didn’t have a potato masher (in fact, when I mashed the Pan Smashed Potatoes, I used the back of a slotted spatula).
Over the next several months, I’ll be looking for recipes and uses for my new ricer. The first will be Roasted Red Pepper Mashed Potatoes. Check back later for the recipe!
