Riced potatoes are the secret to perfect mashed potatoes, homemade gnocchi, spaetzle and other dishes, but ricing potatoes is usually slow and arduous—not so with the Norpro. The first thing we noticed? The size. This stainless steel hopper can hold up to 24 ounces of potato—that’s well over a pound in a single fill—saving time and effort compared to smaller models (and you can still easily press a single potato, if that’s all you need). It’s perforated on all four sides for effortless pressing, which also means the potato doesn’t get compacted while being pressed, making for fluffier rice than other models. Don’t be intimidated by processing so many potatoes at once; the ricer is finished with thoughtful details like extra-long cast aluminum handles for extra leverage, and a silicone-lined notch on the underside so you can add potatoes straight into a bowl or pot. Plus, silicone lining on the underside of the handle and notch protect your bowl and hands while pressing. And the ricer comes apart for easy cleaning, another bonus compared to other versions we’ve tried.
