HT10. Grandma’s genius hack: The secret to perfect mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a comforting classic, but could your cooking method be limiting their potential? TikTok comedian Jourdyn Parks suggests boiling potatoes in stock instead of water for a flavor boost. She explains that using chicken, beef, or vegetable stock infuses the potatoes with rich flavor and results in a creamier texture.

Parks’ method involves washing and rubbing the potatoes with avocado oil, optionally leaving the skin on, and boiling them in a mix of stock, water, and sea salt. The result is a more flavorful, cohesive side dish that doesn’t require extra seasoning.


Food enthusiasts who tested this hack found the stock-boiled potatoes had a richer taste and smoother texture than the water-boiled ones. This twist has inspired many home cooks to experiment by adding ingredients like sour cream, chives, or nutmeg for extra flavor.
