Those potato spaghettifiers. Fuckers break when you try to push potatoes though. Waste of money.

You need to cook the potatoes first.

I usually stop cooking the potatoes whenever a fork can split them. Apparently that is not enough?

Cut them in chunks before you boil if you're going to rice them anyways. They take forever to boil whole.

Well, for the rest of my life I'm calling these potato spaghettifiers, thank you for that.
