I wouldn't mix fresh MPs they tend to get pasty, but Mps from box mix very well.

Yes. It does a dandy job with potatos. 3.5 qt is enough for mashed potato for four or five servings.

I have not used it to mash potatoes yet, but I will be mashing my potatoes with it on Thanksgiving. Depending on how much mash potatoes you will be making, it may or may not be big enough. But, I bet you could do two batches if you needed to very quickly because it's pretty powerful, especially on the higher speeds. This my first mixer and I really like it-and use it a lot. I guess it depends on what you are used to.

This is great for mashed potatoes, but I think the disc system of the cutters is difficult to use. I have never used it for egg salad, but think the whites would not cut through well. I have not used the food mill. If you have arthritis and turning, gripping, etc. is difficult. You may be better off going "old school" and using a potato masher (the kind on a stick handle, or an electric mixer) and egg slicer. That is what I use. I purchased this ricer to make lefse, where the potato is made into a bread dough, so must be silky smooth

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.

I'm sure you could with a smaller potato. Otherwise you could try a mandolin :)

Yes Pamela, I have a 4 qt. Cooks Essential pressure cooker ~ steamer folds down over the glass bowl I use to cook rice.

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.

Not so much, it produces a very fine grate. A box grater would do a much better job. If you are looking for something to do mashed potatoes a potato ricer would work best.

Yes, but I wish I has gotten the next largest size for draining potatoes and other large items....it is made well and will last forever!!

We use it with our 5qt lodge dutch oven to cook chicken, fries, onion rings ect. it works great!

This pan would be more for soups, rice, potatoes and pasta. It's size would limit you to maybe 3-4 smaller ears of corn on the cob. Still an awesome pan. I have the larger one as well that I use for corn on the cob.

It does a great job in mashing potatoes. If you are only making a small amount a hand mixer would do just fine.

It would not be fair for the other brands, if I answer that cause I hasn't used the other ones they have now. But for the price is a great product. Is small so for french fries you have to use small to medium potatoes so they can fit. And for other vegetables is good also.

It will do medium sized potatoes and tomatoes. Big russets have to go length wise.

I have just started using it myself. Heats up leftovers well and quickly. I'm not sur how it would do with a potatoe. Might be best to micro those.

I love this pot, but I would mash my potatoes elsewhere. The non stick surface would be nicked. So to be safe I'd say no

Yes! I absolutely LOVE this potato grater. It's very easy to use and very easy to clean. My husbands father is Lithuanian and I bought this to make Kuglis for my husband. I have used it several times and it works great.
