A Cooking Tip
Don't use an immersion blender to make mashed potatoes. I was feeling too lazy last night to mash them by hand, and looking for the handmixer pieces seemed too challenging, so I grabbed the immersion blender, thinking it would work sort of like the handmixer. It didn't. The potatoes came out like glue. Of course I still ate them, but they were not the deliciously whipped garlic potatoes I had intended.
Sigh. Let's see how I can manage to mess up the cous cous I have planned for tonight, shall we?

Good to know. Gluey mashed potatoes are the worst!
yes! they are really bad.
Immersion Blender? This must be another Americanism that I don't get.
I use a fork to make my mashed potatoes!
hand-held blender? the stick blender that you can just put into the pot instead of transferring everything to the regular blender.
usually I use the hand mixer. clearly I will be going back to that!
My mum has one of those "potato ricer" things (like a giant garlic press for potatoes) that she swears gives her the best mashed potatoes. I have yet to sample them though...
I'm fascinated by a giant garlic press for potatoes! I may need to investigate...
The potato ricer does indeed give the best mashed potatoes. A close second is using a potato masher...I like both of them. I've actually had bad luck with the hand mixer making my potatoes gluey, so I've given up on it. I do love my mashed potatoes!
