Do you know how to make mashed potatoes without a special masher? SSPDaily has prepared three alternative ways to turn boiled potatoes into creamy mashed potatoes.
Mash with a fork
First, boil the potatoes until they are soft. After draining, return the potatoes to the pot. Armed with a fork, gently press and twist it to create a mash. Although this method may take a little longer than using a dedicated masher, the result will be surprisingly satisfactory. Just keep mashing until you reach the desired consistency of the mixture.
Blender
After boiling the potatoes and draining them, put them in a blender. Blend the potatoes on low speed until a creamy consistency is obtained. Be careful not to over-blend as this can result in an undesirable glue-like texture.
Grater
Simply boil the potatoes until tender and drain. Take out your favorite grater and grate the potatoes on a clean surface. Gather the grated potatoes and continue to press and fold with a spatula or spoon to achieve a mashed consistency. This method creates a slightly different, but equally delicious variation of mashed potatoes without using a masher.
