I use the skins from the ricer. I spray them with butter, add salt, put them in my air fryer, and I have potato skin crisps. Can sprinkle them on the mashed potatoes, just use them as a snack, or top potato soup with them.
Just discovered this gadget. I have arthritis and a bad wrist and can’t mash potatoes. This thing is amazing! Best mash I’ve ever had, even back when I could use a masher. Fiddly to clean but totally worth it!
I have some crippling rheumatoid arthritis. Watching him, he appears to be using some strength. I don’t think I would be able to use one of these unfortunately. 😢
Lovely! Just got mine today and can’t wait to try it. I make really good mashed potatoes but I’m hoping this will help take it up a notch. I think I’ll peel mine before I cook them to prevent the buildup of skin in the ricer.
I just got this potato ricer in a second hand store and didn't have any idea of how to use it. But I was close enough when I thought I could use it for my mashed potatoes. Thank you for the info. I've seen my friend mashing cooked egg yolks through a colander to make dishes look more appealing. I think I could use this ricer to do the same, and also to prepare the devil eggs stuffing.
I was watching an Italian Grandma (Gina) make lasagna the way they made it in Italy when she was younger. Interestingly, in Italy they never added ricotta -- but they did add crumbled hard-boiled eggs (just a couple per lasagna) in one of the layers. The ricer would be great for that!
Bro AWESOME VIDEO!!! You covered Everything from start to finish and that’s exactly what I was looking for. After watching a couple videos on how to use a potato ricer and just seeing the quick and sped through versions I was annoyed at not seeing the whole process. You covered all of that. Excellent video and awesome tips. I appreciate you and your insight on using the ricer. Liked and subscribed! 🤘🏻
A ricer is great for removing moisture from your vegetables. A few examples is removing mosture from potatos too make crispy hash browns. I also use my ricer to remove the moisture from blanche shredded cabbage mix to make crispy egg rolls. Nothing does the job better than a potato ricer.
A potato ricer is kitchen life changing gadget. I’m not vegan but my daughter is. V-mash is if way taster than reg. Boil chopped potatoes in 1 can of coconut milk and garlic cloves, salt and pepper and water if u need it to just cover the potatoes. Drain and reserve the liquid gold. Rice the potatoes and add a little horseradish and the boiling liquid to desired texture. You can add olive oil or vegan butter. It’s delicious. It always wins over traditional mash.
Here's a trick to make it even faster. Take those same potatoes, place them in a glass bowl. Cover with a dinner place and microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes after removing from the microwave. Since there is no water involved, it yields an even fluffier result.
I thought you were kidding about saying clouds and heaven, yet did as you said and wow you were so right! We added grated cheddar cheese and made a mini cheese potato pudding.. best for 2022 🎉🎉🙏
I like to drain my spinach and greens with this instead of using cheese cloth for making quiche or dishes where you need the veggie to be very drained.
My grandma, and probably yours, used a crank type ricer to prepare tomatoes for canning. Removed the peels and produced juice or paste. Salt and a few spices (clove was one of them) went in to complete the product. But using the ricer to remove the peels was an important part of the process.
I just purchased another rice. I was born and raised in Germany and I use this to make Spätzle (pasta) and also a childhood favorite spaghetti Eis 🍦. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
I use my potato ricer to squeeze the water out of fresh boiled Ginger to make ginger and raw honey tea. I just break up Ginger (skin on) into some water in the blender first and then boil the mixture
Thanks for the information, I had never heard of one before today and came looking on information on them. Unfortunately, it's not for me because mashed potatoes without the skin are a travisty. I can see it as being very good tool for those that are elderly and have a hard time chewing, though.
Thanks for watching! One interesting note: Since the skins collect in the bottom of the ricer, i see no reason why they could not be taken out and either mixed in with the riced potatoes, or even eaten by themselves. I bet frying them up in a little butter or oil would be quite crispy and delicious :-)
I saw this on Sam the cooking guy. I’m like ooooh a giant garlic masher. I’m getting this because the silicone set that came with a masher is terrible. Thanks for the tutorial, and Sam’s cool gadget gets me a new cooking channel and you a new subscriber!!
As much as I hate mashed potatoes, I really like this video because the chef thankfully did not use an electric mixer to make the mashed potatoes. This is right up my alley, especially if I'm with family for Thanksgiving when they make mashed potatoes. The racer is an excellent substitute for the mixer because you don't need to use the mixer to make the rest of the mashed potatoes the consistency want them to be. What a great video and it being sensitive hearing friendly!
i bought one to squeeze the oil or alcohol from the herbs i was making into medicine. I am hesitant to make mash spuds because i hate lumpy mash. it looks lumpy, does it feel lumpy in your mouth ?
Just pickked one up, litteraly , scrappin some SS from a comercial kitchen and I just couldent let it be melted down! never used one before and didn't know what it was for sure, now i know!
Iv not found it as good as using a metal sieve. The holes must be a lot smaller on a sieve. It just feels more lumpy using this ricer. And yes I didn’t purchase the OXO. Cost me £25. I didn’t realise you could leave the skin on. That will save some time.
Good video, when you're loading the ricer will the potatoes go cold? It's a shame the ricer can't make the potato skins go through the mesh as there is a lot of nutritional benefits from the skin...perhaps I'll stick to a masher
I find the potatoes remain hot, as this process doesn’t take long. And potatoes are easy to reheat. As for the skins, another nice thing about a ricer is that it separates them, making it easy for you to dig them out and use for other purposes. Thanks for watching!
I was watching a show where a ricer was used with potatoes, then egg yolk was mixed in and then it was all rolled on flour to make a long roll. The roll was then sliced and the pieces were boiled. I believe this was gnocchi but not sure.
@@IWantToCook I don't have regular juicer and also not willing to buy. I have grinder , so if I grind hard fruits first and strain with the help of this tool using cheese cloth , I think it would work ...🤗😂 Didn't you have seen fruit hydronic/screw press ? (Usually used for apples/grapes )
That’s a cool looking device! I have a juice extractor - ua-cam.com/video/1cfzcSKfVu4/v-deo.html - but not a manual thing like this. It’s something else I’ll look for while thrifting, lol.
Kind of. There are commercial machines such as Robot-Coupe that can process large amounts of foods, including potatoes, or at home you could try a food processor or even a box grater. That will yield smaller bits and shreds somewhat like what comes out of a ricer. I use a box grater, for example, when I want potato shreds to make hash browns.
I love the process, it appears to make lovely mashed potatoes. However, I would have to peel my potatoes. I can see that if you don’t peel them, when you are mashing them some of the peelings still end up in the final product. I’m just not a fan of potato peelings.
Don’t feed your dog potato skins. It’s toxic to them. Also, I found a bunch of brown bits in mine that were the rotted parts of the potato. I saw them in your potatoes too. The other thing I’ll mention is that I bought a potato ricer and I cannot squeeze the potato through. I don’t have the hand strength, so back to use a fork
What a crock . . . a Sunbeam mixer will make creamier . . . fluffier . . . better mashed potatoes in half the time . . . this is nothing more than another stainless steel gimmick to get 30 bucks from you to stick in a cupboard . . . and gather dust. Wonder how much he gets for each one he sells . . .

This sounds great! Will have to try that. Thanks for tip!
This is amazingly helpful
Yes! Done that ages ago!,
"you don't have to peel the potato" was the selling argument
Mashed potatoes are really good with the skins left, plus you're not throwing away the majority of vitamins and minerals that are only in the skin.
AMEN! I have been on the fence about getting one of these, and that just made my decision.
Wow. I made this tonight with my new ricer. So light and fluffy. I got an odd satisfaction watching the potatoes come out of the ricer too.
Right? It’s cool to watch the process - and even better to taste the results. So glad you enjoyed!
I asked my husband for a potato masher for my birthday and he got me a ricer instead. Can’t wait to try it!
Nice! Hope you enjoy some delicious results :-)
Smart husband and smart wife for getting him!
Last of the big spenders!
The potato skins are the most nutritious part of the potato. I'll be mincing the skins and putting right back into those fluffy taters!
Just discovered this gadget. I have arthritis and a bad wrist and can’t mash potatoes. This thing is amazing! Best mash I’ve ever had, even back when I could use a masher. Fiddly to clean but totally worth it!
Wonderful to hear! The power of leverage is an amazing thing, and here it is so helpful in cooking. All my best to you 🙏
I have some crippling rheumatoid arthritis. Watching him, he appears to be using some strength. I don’t think I would be able to use one of these unfortunately. 😢
I can still use a garlic press. Wish I knew if a ricer is something I could use before buying one, but maybe I will try one.
Fantastic video with full instructions as to how to do this task, everything so clearly explained, well done !
Thank you! 🙏

There is so much flavour and goodness in the potato skins, quickly dice the skins and put them back into the mash. Yum.
bingo! I cannot see why anyone in their right mind would want to throw away the skins.

doing this for thanksgiving this year!! Loved your video 😊
Thank you! Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving 🙏
My grandmother has the same casserole dish here in Australia.

Ricers make great apple sauce, jams & jellys and vegetable soup bases with cooked carrots, celery,onions, etc.
Great ideas! I love a kitchen multitasker.
I like to drain my spinach and greens with this instead of using cheese cloth for making quiche or dishes where you need the veggie to be very drained.
Great idea! I recently found that it works phenomenally well to squeeze the water out of shredded potatoes for hash browns.
Oh wow. A person who thrifts and cooks! I thrifted the potato ricer.
Nice!! 👍

Yes! Sounds similar to - or perhaps was - a food mill like this one: ua-cam.com/video/tX7LGz9769k/v-deo.html
@@IWantToCook Similar. She called it a ricer. Probably a regional use.
Awesome video man 😎
Thank you!
I love my ricer. I always put hidden valley ranch seasoning in my mashed potatoes.
Great idea! That sounds super tasty.
Can you use it for other vegetables like cooked carrots etc?
Yes, as long as they are soft enough. Cheers 😀

Yes! 🙌
i bought one to squeeze the oil or alcohol from the herbs i was making into medicine. I am hesitant to make mash spuds because i hate lumpy mash. it looks lumpy, does it feel lumpy in your mouth ?
Not to me. More like tender strands that become like a purée when stirred with a fork. Hope you enjoy!

There would have to be an electrical version of this for me to ever “rice” potatoes. They look amazing!
Are there ricers available for raw potatoes?
Kind of. There are commercial machines such as Robot-Coupe that can process large amounts of foods, including potatoes, or at home you could try a food processor or even a box grater. That will yield smaller bits and shreds somewhat like what comes out of a ricer. I use a box grater, for example, when I want potato shreds to make hash browns.
I use mine to quickly squeeze all the water out of cooked spinach.
Great idea! 👍
I just got one today after watching some one make potato's and I am todays years old when I found that you should heat your milk and butter first.
Lol, we’ve all been there. Enjoy that new ricer, and relish the amazing mash it makes! 👍
Great video up to the mouth noise when eating :(
I'm guessing you can use for oranges/lemons too?
Possibly if they are already peeled. In my experience, I think for those you’d be better off with a citrus press.
Wait, you guys don't eat the potato skins with butter and sour cream?
o-ok. Subbed btw, nice video
Thank you and happy cooking! 😀
Works great with whole microwaved potatoes.

I have a ricer but every time I use it the potatoes are grainy idk why they aren't smooth and creamy like they are when hand mashing.
Odd indeed. Maybe try a different kind of potato or adjust cooking time? Thanks for watching and happy cooking 😀
feri nise fideo
Wow, so you don't have to take the skins off if you use a ricer?
Nope! That's one of the cool things about it, and a real time saver.
Sometimes, you’ll still get little bits of skin. But still worth it
@04:27 'you can just take out and trash the most nutritious parts of the potato' ; because reasons.
Jam the skins right up yer arse
Several people commented that they have bought a ricer and are going to "try it tonight". Try it out, THEN tell us your experience!
i subbed off this video
Thank you! 🙏
Found a high quality one of these today.. Paid 1.50p in a charity shop.. Unused..its like a giant galic press..
Nice! That's a great score.
$20-30 holy crap. Mine was $13 on amazon
Hey rice that potatoes then roll it up like sushi. I'm hungry
I like this idea!
Stop smacking in the microphone!
I lost the hole part anywhere to come up with something
Why waist the skins. They are more nutrient rich than the rest of the potato. Season and bake.
Thanks! Sounds like another video is in order...
A potato ricer makes the Best Mash... !
PS Don't under boil your spuds..!
Don’t feed your dog potato skins. It’s toxic to them. Also, I found a bunch of brown bits in mine that were the rotted parts of the potato. I saw them in your potatoes too.
