The most popular KitchenAid accessory for mashed potatoes is the flat beater or the pastry beater.* Either one can mash the potatoes without overworking them, so you don’t end up with sticky, tacky potatoes. If you prefer a whipped texture, switch to the wire whip after beating the potatoes to get a light, fluffy consistency.
