Hints from Heloise - Potato masher uses

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: My favorite use for a POTATO MASHER is to make interesting decorations and patterns on cake icing. Just use a light touch. -- Jim G., via e-mail

Good idea. Here are some uses we came up with at Heloise Central:

-
Crush fruit when making jams or jellies.
.
Make designs on peanut-butter cookies.
.
Mix up items in a round pot or bowl.
.
Break up ground meat when cooking.
.
Mash eggs when making egg salad.

And here is a potato-masher use from Peg L. of Mansfield, Ohio: “I use the potato masher for my cream soups. Cook potatoes, broccoli or cauliflower in water. When cooked well, use the potato masher to mash up the chunks, and finish the soup. Great cream soup.”
