potato puree
Creamy tuber paste
Potato puree is potatoes that have been cooked and processed into a smooth, creamy consistency—essentially mashed potatoes taken further, with no lumps remaining.
The term appears most often in culinary contexts where texture matters: Strain the potato puree through a fine sieve.
Restaurant menus use puree to signal refinement over homestyle mashed potatoes.
