Many thanks

Try a Fork, or maybe a light whisk??

[puddingqueen]

Thanx puddi.....a whisk it is.
Can't wait for my sunday dinner.......

If he broke it, it is up to him to take you out for a slap up meal with all the trimmings, instead of mashing potatoes!!

[puddingqueen]

He took me out last night, the meal was very nice........

[theonlyone]

I hate mashed potato..mrtheonly loves
it ....but enjoy it ..

[puddicat]

no not a food processor makes it like sloppy glue!!

[bigmamma]

Certainly a good idea of puddicats , enjoy your mash puddingqueen :-) x

[Jugglering]

Haha Puddicat... so you've made that mistake as well ! In other words, I agree about food processor turning the potato to *glue*...lol

If you still haven't your dinner/tea, then you can push the cooked potato through a fine sieve or ricer but you might have to reheat it afterwards or place in a bowl over a pan of boiling water and cover with a lid until hot enough again.

Don't have mash, perhaps ?

[puddicat]

thats why i didnt suggest a ricer because not everyone has one!!

[Jugglering]

True, very true Puddicat.... I guess one could use a sieve though - but in reality, it's either a fork, a whisk or packet mash..... Actually, thinking about it, if the potato is really well cooked, a wooden spoon might work well at breaking it down quickly, followed by a fork to get it smooth !

[puddingqueen]

Thankyou all for your answers, we ended up having boiled and oven baked potatoes and they were very nice.

[sir.knobby]

Please tell me that you two are not for real

[puddicat]

yep they are

[sir.knobby]

Oh god help us all
