I’m hopeless at cooking, but occasionally I’m trusted with unskilled tasks, and mashing potatoes is one of them. I tried the standard mashers, and they were hard work because they’re badly designed with a vertical grip and usually flimsy as well. The OXO Good Grips one is a game changer. Sturdy stainless steel with a solid vertical grip, making it easy to mash. The RRP is £12.63, but it’s £9.60 on Amazon at the time of writing.
