Making mashed potatoes are pretty basic, right? You just need butter, milk, salt, potatoes, and water to boil them in. However, according to TikTok, we're doing it all wrong and one of those ingredients should be replaced.
According to Buzzfeed, a woman in San Antonio blew up online after she claimed that you shouldn't boil potatoes in water. Instead, you should use chicken stock, in other words broth. You can also use beef stock, depending on what type of meat you're serving.
Other people tried it and said she's right, they do taste better that way. She cuts it with a cup of water to dilute it, and then adds extra salt.
After that, you just do everything else like normal. She says they'll end up creamier and more flavorful than if you just boil them in water.
