If you don't maintain the liquid balance when preparing mashed potatoes, the side dish may turn out too watery and runny.
I don't want to serve such a dish on the table.
Therefore, it is worth knowing how to correct this situation.
What tricks do experienced housewives know?
Make some soup
If the consistency of the side dish is too liquid, then instead of a side dish it is wiser to prepare a delicate soup with a creamy texture. Stir the puree several times until an even more liquid mass is formed. If necessary, you can add a little potato water, vegetable broth or milk.
Then fry the onion and garlic in a separate frying pan.
Add vegetables to the soup, add chopped greens. When served this way, no one will guess that such an exquisite soup appeared on the table as a result of improperly prepared puree.
Half an hour of waiting
Sometimes the puree may seem runny, but this situation is not critical. You just need to cover the pan with foil or cling film, wrap it in an old terry towel.
After half an hour, you will notice that the puree has become thick and of good quality.
Return to the stove
Any housewife can sometimes add more liquid than necessary. In this case, the puree will just need to be returned to the stove.
It is enough to heat the already prepared dish for 2 to 5 minutes on low heat. The remaining liquid will evaporate, and the puree will become thick and tasty again.
