Mashed potatoes do not always turn out the way we planned them..
Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the basic techniques that will allow the side dish to become only better..
Our magazine’s expert on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova, tells us what can be useful in this case.
What secrets are worth knowing?
Do not boil potatoes in a large amount of water
If you don’t want the finished puree to have a watery taste, you need to add a small amount of water. It should just cover the tubers.
Butter
To make the potatoes a little tastier and richer, you should pour in a little vegetable oil during cooking. You can replace it with a small piece of butter.
This will also speed up the cooking process.
Salt
The puree may turn out tasteless if you forget to add salt directly during the cooking process. If you add the component to the already cooked potatoes, this will not improve the situation.
Greens
To make the puree more flavorful, you just need to add greens during the cooking process. It is enough to add ordinary stems during the cooking process for a decent aroma.
