The Reason Behind Not Boiling Mashed Potatoes in Water

I followed Jourdyn’s instructions to the letter, boiling the potatoes in their skins before mashing them with butter, the broth that had been set aside, and black pepper. Amazingly, the potatoes absorbed a delicate umami flavor from the soup, and the peels added a rustic texture that went well with the flesh.

I was inspired to keep trying new things after this achievement. The following time I made it, I followed the advice of another TikTok user and boosted the dish’s taste and aesthetic appeal by adding sour cream and chopped chives.

I continued my exploration of TikTok culinary hacks beyond mashed potatoes. I also used other suggestions, such as seasoning spinach with nutmeg or reducing brown sugar with bread. I have improved my cooking abilities and expanded my culinary palette thanks to these easy but efficient strategies.
