Potato pounder

by Laurie McLaughlin

How do you describe an angry potato? Boiling mad. We love that one almost as much as we love mashed potatoes, lumps and all. Set your little tater-smashing tot to task with this cute crusher. What better way to redirect some of that rambunctious energy than pounding the daylights out of soft spuds? Mr. Potato Masher, $4.99 at KidsThatCook.com.
