Grandma’s secret for ultra-smooth mashed potatoes

Grandma’s secret for ultra-smooth mashed potatoes

When my grandmother saw me cooking potatoes in water to make mashed potatoes, she burst out laughing and said,
“In water? But all the flavor goes away, my dear!”

That’s when she revealed to me the secret passed down through generations in our family.
A simple yet revolutionary trick that transforms ordinary mashed potatoes into a creamy, irresistible delight.

🥔 The secret is in the cooking: boil the potatoes in milk

Yes, it’s that simple.
Instead of using water, cook the potatoes directly in milk, with a few cloves of garlic and salt.

The milk penetrates the potatoes from the inside, giving them a much creamier texture and a rich, deep taste that requires almost no addition.
