If means you need to use a "potato ricer" on the potatoes after they are cooked. You would peal them then put them in a device that looks like a giant garlic press. You could probably peal the mash the potatoes and use them in the same recipe, although the consistency wouldn't be quite the same.

When I first heard the term, I looked all over the internet for a rice potato...not much luck. What I was suppose to do is rice the potato- verb, not noun. You can get a special piece of equipment but I wonder if you might not be able to get away with grating it with a small cheese grater?

It sounds like the recipe wants you to run the potato through a ricer. It a tool that looks like a huge hand-held garlic press and the potatoes come out looking kinda like rice. The end product can be used for gnocchi, croquettes, mashed potatoes...

Gee when you find out, do let the rest of us know. How weird sounding. I have been cooking a very long time and this is the first I have heard of it. Can you ask the person who gave you the recipe? If found in a book is there a contact where you can address your questions to the author? Good luck.
Cheers,
Lisa

It means that you put a cooked potato into a device that "rices" it (crushes and extrudes it, the results look like rice).
Check out a good kitchen supply store.

It may mean to use a ricer for the potato, so that the pieces are finer. Post the recipe and I am sure someone can help.
