Potato Masher

A kitchen utensil used to puree potatoes after they are cooked or to puree other soft foods for making food dishes requiring a smooth textured ingredient. Potato mashers are typically made of stainless steel or nylon and are available in a variety of different styles, all working equally well. When making mashed potato dishes, mashed sweet potatoes, or to puree ingredients to make baby food, a sturdy masher makes the preparation process very easy.
