Mashed potatoes have always been a family favorite, even as I try to introduce healthier alternatives. But a TikTok tip from Jourdyn (@jeauxp) changed everything: using chicken stock.
Jourdyn’s twist was boiling the potatoes with their skins on, in a mix of chicken stock and water. I was curious, so I tried it.
The result? A subtle umami flavor from the broth and a rustic texture from the skins.
Encouraged, I added sour cream and chives to another batch, which elevated both flavor and presentation.
My TikTok cooking adventure didn’t stop there. I discovered more tricks, like adding nutmeg to spinach and using bread to soften brown sugar, which expanded my culinary skills.
So next time you’re making mashed potatoes, try these creative twists. Whether through TikTok hacks or surprising ingredients, you might just discover a new favorite recipe!
