No one can argue about the flavorful merits of a freshly prepared mashed potato compared to what you stir together from pre-made package contents into a yellowish mash. In addition to potatoes, milk, a knob of butter, some salt and aromatic nutmeg, the basic prerequisite for success is, above all, a suitable potato masher: one that is sturdy enough without being excessively heavy and whose openings are sized so that it mashes effectively without requiring too much force. This exceedingly solid device meets both requirements. In addition, its wooden handle is pleasant to the touch and feels good in the hand.
