Stop boiling potatoes in water When my grandmother found out that I boil them in water to make mashed potatoes, she laughed at me She revealed the secret ingredient to make the best mashed potatoes in the world. Use this ingredient instead: I leave you the recipe below.

2️⃣ Place the potatoes in the pan with the milk.

Choose a saucepan with a thick bottom, ideal for gentle and even cooking. Pour the potatoes and cover them almost completely with milk: the liquid should touch the potatoes without completely submerging them. Add a pinch of salt.

3️⃣ Simmer

Heat over low heat and slowly bring the milk to a boil. Let it cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring gently from time to time to prevent the milk from sticking or burning.

During cooking, the potatoes will absorb the milk, which will make them fragrant and creamy. A little milk will remain, creating a velvety base that will sublimate the puree.

4️⃣ Add the butter and seasonings

When the potatoes are soft (check with a fork), turn off the heat and stir in the butter. If you wish, add a generous pinch of nutmeg and grated Parmesan for an aromatic and tasty touch.
