The potato ricer can be visualized as a very large garlic press. It is used in the preparation of mashed potatoes. After the potatoes have been slightly overcooked and chopped up, pass them through the potato-ricer to reduce them to a smooth purée. After potatoes are "riced," it is common to then mix butter, milk, or cream, according to preference.
