Reason Why You Should Not Boil Mashed Potatoes in Water
Mashed potatoes are a cherished family favorite in our household, loved by everyone—even as I experiment with healthier alternatives. But a game-changing tip from TikTok user Jourdyn (@jeauxp) completely flipped the script: chicken stock.
Jourdyn’s twist? Boiling potatoes with the skins on, using a mix of chicken stock and water. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try.
The result? A subtle umami flavor infused into the potatoes, courtesy of the broth, plus a rustic texture from the skins.
Feeling inspired, I took it a step further by adding sour cream and chives to another batch, taking both the flavor and presentation to a new level.
