Tool
Potato masher
Fluffy mashed potatoes and chunky guacamole without overworking.
What it is and why it matters
A potato masher breaks down cooked potatoes, beans and avocados by hand. It gives fluffy mashed potatoes without the gluey texture that overmixing can cause. It also leaves guacamole as chunky as you like.
