A spud ricer is a must to make great mash

When we were in Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, I was waiting for Mrs CJ to come out of Hobbs, when I stumbled into the Professional Cookware Company Shop and saw a Potatoe Ricer on sale for £19.50. I'd seen some cookery progs on UKTVFood where when they made mash they used this utensil and it came out fab. I've been using a masher to make my mashed potatoes, and occasionally blitzed the spuds up in the Food Processor, and guess what - they never look ar taste the same. So, I decided to put my hand in my pocket and give it a go. When we were having dinner in Arundel House, I chose as a main course the Seared Loin of Local Venison on Sweet Potato Mash with Wilted Spinach and a Red Wine Reduction. I looked very closely at the consistency of the mash and thought that it was most unlike mine. So, the following day, when I saw this machine, I thought that this may be the answer. And hey presto when I made it tonight, there it was, just like I had on Wednesday evening, with the small exception of a bit of olive oil and some seasoning. So if you come over to the house in the near future for dinner, there is a strong posibility that the ricer will be out and that a mash of some kind will be on the menu.
