For my family, mashed potatoes are more than just a side dish—they’re a cherished staple that brings everyone together.
While I’ve tried introducing healthier options, nothing compares to the comfort and satisfaction of creamy mashed potatoes. That is, until I stumbled upon a TikTok tip that completely transformed this classic dish.
User Jourdyn, known as @jeauxp on TikTok, shared a brilliant twist on traditional mashed potatoes: using chicken stock. Intrigued by this unconventional idea, I decided to give it a try.
To my surprise and delight, the results were phenomenal. The chicken stock infused the potatoes with a subtle umami flavor, elevating their taste to a whole new level. And here’s the best part—leaving the skins on while boiling added a rustic texture that was simply irresistible.
Encouraged by this culinary revelation, I continued to experiment. One of my favorite variations was adding sour cream and chives to the mashed potatoes. The combination of flavors was out of this world, and the presentation impressed everyone at the table.
