Mashed potatoes are one of the most popular and favorite dishes, which is served not only every day, but also on holidays.
In an effort to speed up and simplify the process of its preparation, many replace the classic potato masher with an immersion blender.
Because of this, according to Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, the result of work in the kitchen is often unsatisfactory.
The problem is that when using a blender, the potatoes become sticky and viscous, and there can be no talk of their airiness and tenderness.
Although the puree is still edible, it is unlikely to taste good.
To avoid this, it is better to stick to the traditional method of preparing mashed potatoes that our mothers and grandmothers used, or use a mixer when preparing the side dish - it, unlike a blender, makes the puree airy.
If you want to add a little variety or enhance the taste of the puree, you can add your favorite spices and additional ingredients, such as butter, milk, onion, garlic or herbs.
These simple additions can greatly improve the taste of the finished dish.
