Is there anything you can do to gummy mashed potatoes?

Eat them.


Why shouldn't you use a food processor to make mashed potatoes?

Oh no, you definitely don't want to do that! Your mashed potatoes would go really gummy and become like glue. Very bad from both a taste and texture point of view. This is because when you overwork the potatoes, you crush and damage the cell walls, which releases starch, which when released in excess, will become like glue. You want to work your potatoes as little as possible, by cooking them thoroughly until they fall apart easily when you use a masher or ricer, then gently fold in the milk and butter, and try to disturb the potatoes as little as possible.

Why do mashed potatoes get sticky like glue when over beaten?

The gumminess is caused by starch that has been released from the cells of the potato, forming a paste. This is usually caused by overbeating the cooked potatoes, for example with a food processor or electric mixer. Some varieties of potatoes(such as russets) have larger cells that make it more difficult for starch to escape. Other varieties (such as yellow- and red-skinned) have smaller cells and tend to become gummy more easily. It is widely agreed that the best way to avoid gummy mashed potatoes is to (1) mash them with a hand masher or potato ricer, and (2) avoid over-mashing and over-stirring them.
