For my family, mashed potatoes are a cherished staple, beloved by all,
even as I try to introduce healthier options. However,
a TikTok tip from user Jourdyn (@jeauxp) changed the game: chicken stock.
Jourdyn’s twist? Leaving the potato skins on while boiling them in a mix of chicken stock and water. Curious, I gave it a shot.
The result? A subtle umami flavor infused into the potatoes, thanks to the broth, with an added rustic texture from the skins.
Encouraged, I experimented more, adding sour cream and chives to another batch. The flavor and presentation were elevated.
But my TikTok culinary journey didn’t end there. I learned other tricks,
like adding nutmeg to spinach or using bread to soften brown sugar, expanding my cooking repertoire.
So, next time you’re making mashed potatoes, consider these unconventional twists
. Whether it’s TikTok hacks or unexpected ingredients,
you might find your next favorite recipe.
Your taste buds will thank you!
