mashed
As it is potatoes which are "gemust" I would like to suggest
mashed potatoes
as an alternative
gemust – part. < musen = to mash, whip

The use of “floury” types of potato is usually recommended, although “waxy” potatoes are sometimes used for a different texture. Butter (or vegetable oil) and milk or cream is usually added to make smooth, well-flavoured mashed potato.

Kartoffelpüree, Kartoffelbrei oder Kartoffelmus (österreichisch: Erdäpfelpüree, schweizerisch/allemannisch: Kartoffelstock, bairisch/fränkisch: Stampf oder Stopfer) ist ein Brei aus gekochten, zerdrückten und cremig gerührten Kartoffeln sowie anderen Zutaten. Kartoffelpüree dient als Beilage oder als Zutat für andere Gerichte wie z. B. Kroketten.

: mashed potatoes is a prepared dish in English. don't think it fits the context /thanks for pointing out the typo. but I don't agree with your interpretation of the English meaning. I'm bemused by the reply

Mashed or pureed potatos (gemuste Kartoffeln) can both amount to a prepared dish in English.There are plenty of recipes to this effect. I am aware that the question is not about cooking! But I still think that "mashed p." is appropriate in this context.
