To give classic mashed potatoes a new and unusual flavor, you need to prepare it in a slightly unusual way.
As a result, your side dish will be aromatic, filling and interesting.
What simple trick will change the taste of mashed potatoes?
First, you need to boil the root vegetable in the usual way. As a rule, this is done in salted water. For flavor, you can add bay leaf, onion, celery, parsley, garlic, fennel and any other ingredients to your liking.
In the meantime, while the potatoes are boiling, we should start preparing our secret ingredient.
To do this, melt a piece of lard in a heated frying pan and fry chopped onion on it. You can also add more lard for frying.
After the potatoes are cooked, some of the water should be drained and some used instead of milk.
In this recipe, there is no need to add butter. Use a masher to bring the potatoes to the desired consistency, adding the broth in which the root vegetable was cooked.
Then add fried onions with lard. Such puree can become a real main dish, not a side dish.
