For me, there is nothing like the feeling of a knife in your hand when it comes to chopping and when I make mashed potatoes, I am all about smashing the hell out of them, by hand, with one of these -
...and there had better be lumps. You heard me. I want the lumps that prove I did the job by hand. Besides, everything I cook is rustic and home-style and if I happen to be upping my game for a fancy dinner party, I'll smooth my taters out with one of these -
So, when I received an electric tool that exists for the purpose of mashing potatoes I thought of two things:
1) If I use this, I will no longer have a way to get out my hostility toward my coworkers in a healthy fashion.
2) I am too much of an impulsive bull in a china shop to use this tool. It is meant for one with a far more measured and delicate touch. I would likely create glue.
So, for those reasons (but mostly number 1), I am giving away a tool called the Dash Masher. It is brand new in the box and ready for a cook who has far less aggression to resolve than I do. I have family members that use this and swear by it, but I know it is the wrong tool for me.

I will draw the winner the week of 1/25/16 and will identify the winner in this post. Then, I will instruct you how to get your address to me privately so that I can mail you your Dash Masha.
Good luck!
