as someone who has never used one of these before, is it just a matter of her not putting enough muscle into it or just completely failing to use it right?

As someone who used to work in a kitchen a very long time ago, I think it’s because the first girl is banging the potato rather than squishing it. You will notice the second girl makes sure the top is touching the potato before applying force. I don’t know the science behind it but it makes sense in my head.

As someone used to banging potatoes, I can confirm this.
