• *Add Mashed Potatoes if soup is too thin

Hoff Thoughts: Unless you have "man hands" you'll need to cut larger Potatoes in half before pressing through the Ricer. Place the cut side down inside the Ricer. I love the Ricer, because you don't have to peel the Potatoes, the peels will come right off in the pressing process. Ricing your Potatoes will help prevent the gummy "gluteny" mashed Potatoes that can result from overworking the Potatoes. While I love Baby Yellow Potatoes because they naturally have a rich, buttery flavor that took forever to rice, I found this side dish comes together much quicker with larger Potatoes.
