Mashed potatoes don't always turn out the way we planned them to.
Therefore, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the basic techniques that will allow the side dish to become even better.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues at the online publication BelNovosti, tells us what might be useful to us in this case.
What secrets are worth knowing?
Do not boil potatoes in a large amount of water.
If you don't want the finished puree to have a watery taste, you need to add a small amount of water. It should just cover the tubers.
Oil
To make the potatoes a little more tasty and rich, add a little vegetable oil during cooking. You can replace it with a small piece of butter.
This will also speed up the cooking process.
Salt
The puree may turn out tasteless if you forget to add salt right during the cooking process. If you add the component to the already cooked potatoes, this will not improve the situation.
Green
To make the puree more aromatic, you just need to add greens during the cooking process. It is enough to add regular stems during the cooking process for a decent aroma.
