Last night, I did mashed potatoes to go with pot roast. Once again, the lumps were very large, as opposed to the little lumps that give the dish just a bit of character, but leave it reasonably smooth. Aarrrgh!

This has been driving me crazy for over a year.

When I was washing the beaters from the hand-held mixer, it occurred to me that my mixer has wire beaters, that won't stand up to much in the beating category. The old one, which died after many years of use, had narrow - but, solid - bands of metal, which got the job done. They could break-up those bits of potato. (There's no texture, if the potatoes are cooked to "soup.")

A very quick online look, showed nothing but wimpy wire attachments for current mixers. It's time to check the Salvation Army/Good Will. I want MEAN BEATERS!!

My dear!

If you choose the right potatoes and cook them correctly you can mash them merely with a fork as my mother always did.

I however, who have less time available cook my potatoes and then mash them with an implement like this

before adding salt and pepper butter and a little milk. It cost me less than $2
