10 Best Potato Mashers UK 2024 | KitchenCraft, Jamie Oliver and More

Topping our list is this electric masher to blitz potatoes, and anything else you fancy, into blissful, lighter-than-air mash. The fine tilted blades spin through your potato, pushing it through the vertical slits in the cylindrical base. 

The price may be considerably higher than the other mashers we've featured, but you're paying for what is essentially a time-saving hand blender. More than mash, this multi-functional tool will whip meringues to high heaven and crush chickpeas into hummus at full speed!

This masher is perfect not only for squishing potatoes, but fruit or vegetables too! On top of the handle is a convenient ridge for your thumb to rest as you smash those spuds to your heart's content. 

The key to this user-friendly utensil is its springy spiral base, which flattens out as you press down on it, allowing you to work your cooked veg into a paste with minimal effort using a repetitive bouncing motion. 

This masher is a great functional choice. At the more affordable end of the price range without being cheap, this happy kitchen helper takes advantage of a horizontal handle so you can really put some oomph into your wrist action as you mash. 

The flat metal mashing plate is made from long-lasting stainless steel, which is less likely to clog and catch than other materials, with long, thin rectangular shaped holes to work cooked potatoes into an impressively soft cloud of yumminess. 

What we think is particularly cool about this potato masher is that it can be neatly folded. Which means it will take up far less space in your kitchen drawer or utensil pot. The rounded triangle shape plate doubles as a scraper, to help you catch stray lumps in tricky corners.

The holes in the nylon mashing are large but plentiful, so you can easily break down tough veg into lovely fluffy mash. The vertical handle is also practical to grip, adding to the overall professional quality. 

Choose this top-quality masher if you favour a swirl design. The space between the wire of the plate mean you can easily break down chunky potatoes or other veg, that need not be particularly soft. 

The palm-friendly handle prevents wrist strain as you power through fruit, veg and 'taters, and the anti-rust stainless steel swirl plate guarantees you many happy years of mashing before this utensil begins to lose its sheen. 

You can always rely on Jamie to provide kitchen products that save time and work effectively. This product not only looks smart, but has a comfy-to-use ergonomic handle and so many holes you can guarantee smooth extra-fine mash!

One useful extra that comes included with this masher is the silicone scraper. It's absolutely perfect for removing excess mash from around the masher itself and from the edge of the bowl. 

This masher actually has ultra fine 'blades' which practically slice through your spuds creating a super refined, lump-free mash. The nine horizontal blades form a diamond shaped grid to whizz through tatties, even the ones on the tougher side. 

We also like the extra large handle, which has fine ridges for a tight, yet comfortable grip. KitchenCraft is a brand known for its superior quality products, and for £12.95 we think this potato masher is a veritable steal, given its high-end standard.

The biggest perk of this potato masher has to be the multiple holes of varying size in the mashing plate. This unique spacing will let you quickly transform steaming boiled potatoes into tempting twirls of mash. As an added benefit, the horizontal handle allows you to really put your back into the mashing in relative comfort. 

If that wasn't enough, this masher comes with a free vegetable peeler so you can make melt-in-the-mouth mash without those pesky skins, if that's your preference of course! 

Pick this economical masher if you'd like to bring a splash of colour into the kitchen. This flexible utensil is available in a range of chirpy shades including pink, violet, turquoise and orange. 

The five oval shaped slits in the mashing plate will mean a little more effort is needed to achieve lump-free mash than with the other options on the list. However, it really does win serious points for style!

Our favourite thing about the MasterClass potato masher is probably the price tag! Simple and chic, it's made from reinforced nylon making it both flexible and durable. Despite the 'comfort grip' the handle isn't particularly ergonomic, so it won't be the easiest masher on your palms but it works just fine!

With sixteen small oval-shaped holes in its disc shape mashing plate, this kitchen tool will pummel your potatoes to perfection for a reasonable price. It doesn't came with any extras, but for under a fiver - who cares?
