No one likes mashed potatoes that taste watery, so it's important to eliminate this drawback from the dish.
Typically, the problem is that we make serious mistakes that ruin the quality of an excellent side dish.
What shortcomings should be kept in mind?
Pre-grinding
Some housewives are afraid that the potatoes will not have time to cook evenly, so they chop them before cooking. As a result, the taste of the root vegetable becomes too watery.
Therefore, it is worth choosing small root vegetables for cooking so that the taste is balanced.
Incorrect selection of water temperature
Choosing the right water temperature for cooking a particular dish can be confusing because there is no universal rule.
It is worth remembering that mashed potatoes are sent into cold water. If you do the opposite, the root vegetables will cook unevenly. As a result, the taste will be watery.
Rush
Some housewives start working with a masher too early. As a result, the puree tastes watery. Therefore, after you have drained the water, it is worth waiting a little.
This will allow any remaining moisture to evaporate.
