do you have to cook the potatoes to make mashed potatoes?

Yes, anything you put in the foley mill and expect to puree, has to be mushy to begin with.

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.

Why yes, it will core potatoes if you keep the spiral attachment up. If you do not want to do this and just peel the potato simply lower the spiral attachment so that you just peel instead of spiral. I like to use the spiral attachment to make scalloped potatoes. The center piece can be baked or fried separately from your recipe of choice or you can chop the center piece into your recipe. I hope this answers your question?

Sorry, but we've never done baked potatoes in the toaster oven. We put them in the microwave. However, there is a "potato" setting button on the oven, so I presume if you use this, it will automatically bake the potato and shut itself off when the potato is done, as it does with the "toast" and "pizza" setting buttons. Hope this helps.

I've done it before. Use a half cup of water per bowl and the potatoes, then separate using a strainer. Mix half an onion per bowl along with the potatoes mix a little garlic too. Use granulated garlic after separating the water and potatoes, salt and pepper too.

Yes, I think so. I have cooked with a porous insert and the potato cooked just fine.

Yes you can wrap potatoes in foil and bake... I would recommend you to use butter or oil, just a little bit of one of them on the foil paper... If you cover casseroles you have to punch some holes (with a fork) in the last minutes of the cooking time.

You could cook potatoes but I wouldn't recommend actually mashing potatoes on the cast iron surface

Personally, my favorite is sautéing in white onion, garlic, cilantro or basil. Cook potatoes, carrots & celery and drain. Add to sautéed pan, mix while on low heat. Delicious!!!!

i didn't, but i used it to cook unpeeled potatoes, other grains, eggs and vegetables (and not all of them at one time).

Haven't made mashed potatoes in it so I can't say for sure. But I'll wager a guess: more than you can eat in one sitting!

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

Hello. I haven't tried this yet but here is a recipe that will probably work but be sure to check the potatoes with a fork after a few minutes (depending on size) for doneness and to make sure the water in the bottom of the pot has not evaporated. Also, scrub the potatoes well before starting to remove any dirt and peel them ahead if you are making mashed potatoes. Steaming produces a much softer and mushier product than baking or microwaving (my preferred methods). Here is the website: http://www.livestrong.com/article/435104-how-to-steam-red-potatoes-in-an-electric-steamer/ AND/OR http://www.livestrong.com/article/555329-baking-a-potato-in-a-rice-steamer/ . Remember that the George Foreman is really just a pot with a heating element in the bottom and if you have the option, use your microwave after piercing potatoes with a knife if in a hurry or your oven if you are baking other things and don't mind heating up the kitchen. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I hope that you poke a few holes in your spuds! You're right, it does make the best baked potatoes. Have you tried baking yams in there? They need a few holes too, so that they don't explode.

Yes. See info book under bake and roast. I don't have much experience doing potatoes as we normally do them in the microwave. However any other baking we have done is about the same as doing it with the oven in the range or in our previous toaster oven.

Not sure what the question really is ? I have no reason to think there is anything wrong with the purity of product. What we have bought has always been great tasting and easy to prepare. You wont find better tasting mashed potatoes.

No, not all at one time. What I've done is cook 4 minutes then wait 30 seconds then cook 4 more minutes. This makes the potatoes super soft. This product is amazing. I've used it for sweet potatoes and broccoli too. I put veggies in a Baggie then in this bag. 4 minutes works for veggies too.
