Mashed potatoes are easy to prepare, which is why this side dish is one of the most favorites for many housewives.
However, in order for the dish to be high-quality, light and airy, it is worth following the basic rules.
Following the recommendations increases the chances of preparing an absolutely wonderful side dish, says chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
What do they consist of?
Starch in potatoes
It is important to remember that the presence of sufficient starch in potatoes is one of the main secrets of success. Therefore, try to prepare mashed potatoes from the vegetable of the appropriate variety.
Water
Not everyone remembers that the water should not be fresh: salt is an important component. Otherwise, the puree itself will taste very mediocre.
The water into which the tubers are placed must be cold.
Other components
It is important to warm the butter to room temperature. If you add dairy products to the puree, do not forget to warm them up in a saucepan first.
If you add water, it is best to use the same liquid in which the potatoes were boiled.
