For my family, mashed potatoes are a loved dish, enjoyed by everyone, even as I try to bring in healthier choices. But a TikTok tip from user Jourdyn (@jeauxp) changed everything: chicken stock.
Jourdyn’s idea? Keeping the potato skins on while boiling them in a mix of chicken stock and water. I was curious, so I tried it out.
The outcome? A mild umami taste added to the potatoes, thanks to the broth, with a nice rustic feel from the skins.
Feeling inspired, I tried more things like adding sour cream and chives to another batch. The taste and look were much better.
But my TikTok cooking adventure didn’t stop there. I discovered other tricks too, like putting nutmeg in spinach or using bread to soften brown sugar; this really expanded my cooking skills.
So next time you’re making mashed potatoes, think about these unique twists. Whether it’s TikTok hacks or surprising ingredients, you might discover your new favorite recipe. Your taste buds will be grateful!
