Default potato mashers

a dear, dear friend implied that I should look into getting a new potato
masher.

Any thoughts? Are they all flat on the bottom, or do any have bottom tines
which have a pointed or angled shape to cut through the potatoes with less
effort?

By all means, hold out for that elusive triangle tined potato masher since
no other potato masher could possibly work as well.

Huh? Your spuds should be knife tender before you mash. Sounds like
you're not cooking them long enough.

Skip a masher and use a ricer. Nice texture throughout the finished
product.

One that isn't flat on the bottom will certainly do a number on your
saucepans....forget that idea.

Mine is an old Cutco one that came with my knives back in the 50s. My
grandmother had one that had a zig-zag flat shape on the bottom.
Pretty much any one you buy will work.

For me, I don't use a ricer because the potatoes cool off too fast.

fast.

This is my method.

When they're done, I drain off the water,
put back on burner and give the pan a good shake to dry out the spuds,
remove em to a bowl with a slotted spoon,
then I work the ricer right over the original pan which is still
pretty warm
and on that warm burner.

I put the cover back on the pan and they stay nice and hot til serving
time.
I'm a fanatic about hot food, so I work fast to get en ready. I have
even been known to melt the butter and heated sour cream and have it
ready so as not to cool down the spuds. Finally, I eschew serving
dishes when it's just us. I ice cream scoop em right onto our plates,
then usually there's some kind of a sauce to pour on the spuds too.

I have my grandmothers old potato masher. I prefer it over using an electric mixer. I would like to find one that has an angular or rounded shape so it works a little better in the rounded bowl you are mashing your potatoes in. I've never seen one with tines on the bottom.
