Potato Ricer = tender, fluffy, creamy texture
The one technique to really obtain the signature tender, fluffy creamy texture with minimal lumps is to make use of a potato ricer (pictured in step 3 beneath).
A stand mixer or hand-held beater will activate the starch in potatoes and make it extra dense and heavy so I don’t suggest that.
When you don’t have a potato ricer, the following greatest various is a potato masher with holes within the mashing finish (as a result of it yields an identical impact to the potato ricer).

Notes
1. Potato ricer – to achieve a really soft, near lump-free creamy texture, you need a potato ricer. A masher won’t be quite as soft, but if you use one with holes in it, it’s the nearest you’ll get.
Do not use a beater – it might make it more lump free but it will be dense and thick, rather than soft and creamy like KFC potato.
