Being a potato lover I can't live without my pealer and a hand potato masher. I bought one that has round holes in it and just love it. Less lumps, but I love finding little lumps in my potatoes too! Love making cheese potates. I also have a potato ricer that comes in handy for squishing pumpkin too. Is a bulky tool but if you want no lumps, buy a potato ricer. Kids love using that gadget to test their strength too!
Remind kids, hot potatoes burn too.
