Could your mashed potato method be holding you back from culinary greatness? A viral TikTok hack suggests that the secret to perfect mashed potatoes lies in what you boil them in. Comedian Jourdyn Parks, known as @jeauxp, introduced a twist on the classic recipe by swapping plain water for flavorful stock, claiming it infuses the potatoes with rich flavor and a creamy texture.
The process is simple: wash and rub the potatoes with avocado oil (skin on for texture, or peeled), then boil them in a mix of water, sea salt, and enough chicken, beef, or vegetable stock to cover them. Parks says boiling in stock enhances both flavor and texture, making your mashed potatoes stand out.
