"By name, potato mashers are intended for transforming cooked potatoes into fluffy goodness in a flash. With that said, there are a number of other creative uses for your masher beyond simple spuds. All you need is a ripe avocado and an affordable masher to make guacamole or mix up avocados with spices and seasonings to top off your toast."
"Whereas a fork has a much smaller surface area, a potato masher can cover the majority of your avocado with just one press. Much like using a masher to mix up ground meat, beans, or bananas, this is a great way to let this simple kitchen gadget have a life beyond potatoes. Start by carefully peeling your avocado and removing the pit before either adding it to a wide-based bowl or atop a sturdy surface such as a cutting board before mashing."
"One thing to keep in mind is that potato mashers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. These two different stainless steel ones are sold together for under $6 on Amazon. It's also worth noting that if you prefer avocado mash on the chunkier side, you won't have to mash them much to achieve this desired result - it's literally going to take a few seconds."
Potato mashers efficiently mash ripe avocados to create toast toppings, guacamole, or other mixes, covering more surface area than a fork and speeding preparation. Users should peel and pit avocados, then mash them in a wide-based bowl or on a sturdy surface like a cutting board. Olive oil, lemon juice, or red pepper flakes can be added and combined with the masher for flavor. Mashers produce smooth or chunkier textures depending on pressure and time. Potato mashers come in various shapes and affordable stainless steel sets, and they also work well for beans, bananas, and ground meat.
