Bitter mistakes housewives make when making mashed potatoes: why you can't cook like that
If you want the side dish to be tasty, tender and without lumps, you need to remember some rules.
First, you need to figure out the type of vegetable.
For ideal puree, fruits with at least 13% starch content are suitable.
Then, when the vegetables are prepared, you need to put them in already boiling water. In this case, all the starch will be able to boil normally.
Housewives make another mistake during cooking when they add salt at the beginning.
But you need to salt the potatoes a few minutes before the end of cooking. This affects the texture of the finished dish. As a result, the side dish will be soft.
Also, many people, when preparing mashed potatoes, first decide to add butter and cold milk, and then begin to mash the ingredients.
This is a mistake. The dish will end up with lumps, which no one likes. So first, while the vegetables are hot, you need to mash them, and then add the dairy products at room temperature.
