There are several recipes that recommend a potato ricer. A potato ricer also makes an excellent gift for that kitchen connoisseur or novice cook alike.

If you're unsure what exactly a potato ricer is, it looks like a large garlic press and works very similarly. You place the potato (or any other vegetable) into the hopper then squeeze the handles until the potato feeds through the metal netting. It will be thin like a piece of rice (thus the name). Some come with attachments to change the size of the holes for different consistencies.

When choosing a potato ricer, you want one that is durable and can withstand the force of squeezing a potato through the grating process. Also, the more accessories you can add to it the better. As it will serve more applications and be usable for more.
