How well does this mixer work for mashed potatoes?

I haven't tried it yet the accessories are high quality like the mixer so I'm sure it will work perfect.

I have used the mixer on cookie dough w/great success so mashed potatoes will be a snap. great product!!

My mixer makes superb mashed potatoes. It whips them to a perfect consistency.

They're rounded so mashing potatoes with a masher wouldn't be particularly easy, although the bowl would probably be OK. I always drain my potatoes and then mash them still in the pot.

I've used it for all types of potatoes and sweet potatoes and squash and cucumbers. so far no problems - although overly ripe (soft) ones can mush a little. I am happy with mine.

I never used it for potatoes, but my son who is a mechanical engineer says that it is very well-designed. It works great for Super thick spatzle dough so I'm sure it could handle a cooked potato.

Re Moe&Company; response, YES, that is exactly right! I have some very expensive pots that have been damaged with beaters! Now, I cook my potatoes in one of my stainless steel pots, so I can mash them in it with no problem!

It is a bit slow but does the trick. I've made a very large quantity of potatoes without issue. Hope this helps.

I've never used this for potatoes but I am guessing because of the starches in potatoes that is why you are getting the gooey consistency, especially if you are doing it whole it is still warm/hot. Potatoes can be kind of delicate and get like that when they are over mashed. I can see this being amazing for mashing cauliflower though :)

I have not tried potatoes but my first thought would be no. I use mine for Apple sauce mostly. A good immersion blender will make great mashed

No idea. I used it a couple times on my potatoes and it didn't work. If I cooked one it was fine, any more then that and it didn't cook all of them.

it worked excellent to mash cooked beans. I use it all the time. It is the best one i had so far.

I really appreciate the potato ricer for making spaetzle, a German dumpling noodle that my mother used to make. But I have no experience in using it or the food mill for mashed potatoes or deviled eggs. I usually make too large a quantity to make either of these tools a practical choice for me so I'm sorry I'm not in a position to answer your question directly. I personally find a hand mixer very convenient for either purpose. That way you can avoid having to scoop many small batches into the ricer or the mill in addition to working either tool. A hand mixer would mix it all at once and be easier to operate (in my opinion). I hope this was helpful.

I don't think you will get the results. When it grates a potato there are always the last slice of potato stuck in the machine. If you are pouring in a gallon of nuts and aren't too picky it would probably do a fair job. I have some almonds, I will give it a try later, ask me again tomorrow or later. I love this attachment set, we have them all, This one stays in the mixing bowl . Will grate potatoes for hash browns to die for. Grates up cheese, omg. If you don't have these attachments for your mixer your missing out.

Yes, the BSB530XL All In One™ can produce smooth, rustic and creamy mashed potatoes.

It should. We have only used it to make fried potatoes and it works great! Better than I thought it would. There's so many attachments, it should do about anything. We really like it.

I would recommend you use a plastic potato masher rather than the electric mixmaster. Otherwise, I believe you could potentially harm the surface.

Probably not the best choice for potato. It is a very, very fine grater. Works well on hard cheese (Parmesan), lemon zest, or anything that needs a smaller shred.

If you mean the whisk attachment, I am certain the whisk would NOT work for potatoes, nor would any other whisk. Whisks are for incorporating (fluffing) air into things, such as whipping cream or mixing two liquid type things together. Potatoes are firm and need to be mashed or riced. The immersion blender itself, is powerful. I can hardly believe how quickly it smoothed out every thing I've tried thus far. My favorite part is how extremely easy it is to clean up afterwards.
