potato-masher
Tool for crushing boiled tubers
A potato-masher is a kitchen utensil for mashing cooked potatoes and other soft foods, typically a flat perforated plate or zigzag wire grid attached to a vertical handle.
You press down repeatedly to break the food into a smooth consistency: She worked the potato-masher until the lumps were gone.
In military slang, potato-masher refers to a German stick grenade from the World Wars, which resembled the kitchen tool.
