masher
Tool for tubers
A masher is a kitchen tool for crushing soft foods into a pulp, typically potatoes: She grabbed the masher and went to work on the boiled potatoes.
In dated slang, a masher was a man who made aggressive or unwanted advances toward women—a sense that survives mainly in period fiction and its derivative, mash, meaning to flirt.
