Only if you're trying to make fucking wallpaper paste. Using a blender or hand mixer ensures you'll have a pile of inedible starchy sludge. Once the spud's been mashed, riced &/or screened it only needs to have additional ingredients (butter, milk, cream, S&P, nutmeg perhaps) lightly folded in.
woof.
i am a trained chef guys,a small burst with a hi powered hand held blender wont kill it if u want extra smoothness, but once when i was younger i did over mix a massive bowl of duchess potato mix,had to get the smash out,chef wasnt happy.....also the person who posted this isnt really thinking about creamed potato,they mean that sort of creamy loose stuff they sit pan fried bits of meat on or seabass or what ever.
