Milk and butter are considered essential components of mashed potatoes.
Many cooks are sure that without these products, the side dish will not acquire tenderness, beautiful color and bright taste.
However, experienced housewives have found an excellent alternative to the milk-butter “duet”.
It turns out that the dish will be much more appetizing if you mix mashed potatoes with another product.
What product are we talking about?
It is better to “season” the puree not with milk and butter, but with heavy cream.
In this case, the taste of the side dish will become brighter and more interesting, and the consistency will be more successful.
This way, the dish will be incredibly tender. And this property will be preserved for quite a long time.
Other interesting options
Milk and butter can be replaced with mayonnaise. The popular white sauce will add softness and richness to the dish. The side dish will certainly not be watery.
However, the taste of mashed potatoes will be truly rich if you use sour cream instead of mayonnaise as an alternative ingredient.
True, this fermented milk product can only replace milk. You will still have to add butter.
