But it is necessary to find a replacement for the dairy component.

Which one exactly? This question was answered by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.

What to add to puree instead of milk

It turns out that you can (and even should!) use sour cream as an alternative.

Thanks to the delicate fermented milk product, the puree will turn out truly creamy.

In addition, a very bright creamy taste will appear.

For half a kilo of mashed potatoes, four tablespoons of sour cream will be enough.

True, before adding to the vegetable mass, the fatty product must be diluted just a little with potato broth.

If you do it right, you'll end up with restaurant-quality mashed potatoes.
