Looking for advice to whip mashed potatoes?

So excited🤣My Ank is on its way. 😊. Couple of questions: if you’re making a Genoese sponge can you use the beater whisk on slow to fold in flour or would it be too fast and knock out the air? Likewise with macaron folding in the almonds? Im asking because of the pillar in the middle of the beater bowl and it would have to be moved to another bowl to fold. Sorry for prattling on 😆

I ordered my mixer, just getting all the good tips so I can have an easy first bread mix! Thanks!

I would like to know if the plastic bowl remains clear after multiple uses. And does it crack easily?
