Why do smart cooks not throw away potato broth: it can be used in cooking other dishes

After cooking boiled potatoes, a cloudy liquid remains in the pan.
An inexperienced cook will probably just pour it out.
But a seasoned gourmet is unlikely to do so. Most likely, he will save this decoction.
The thing is that “potato” water can act as an additional ingredient for other dishes.
Where can you add potato broth?
There are many options for using this useful liquid.
Firstly, starch water is an ideal means for making any sauce thicker.
Secondly, potato broth can be added to the meat broth being prepared, which usually lacks vegetable flavor.
Thirdly, the water left after boiling potatoes is an ideal component for fish soup. Of course, the broth should be added not to the finished dish, but to the still-cooking dish.
Fourthly, it makes sense to pour some potato water into the dough. If you plan to make bread from the flour base, it will turn out more delicious, soft and fluffy.
An important point
It is worth remembering that in most cases potato broth is salty.
Therefore, when using this liquid in other dishes, you need to be careful with adding salt (sometimes you should avoid it altogether).
