How Chicken Stock, Skins, and a TikTok Hack Transformed My Family’s Favorite Side
Let’s be honest:
You’ve made mashed potatoes a thousand times.
Peel. Boil. Mash. Add butter. Hope for fluffiness.
And while they’re always good, they’re rarely great.
But what if the reason your mashed potatoes never quite reach that creamy, restaurant-quality depth…
is because you’re boiling them in plain water?
Yes — that’s the culprit.
Plain water does one thing: softens potatoes.
But it doesn’t add flavor — and worse, it can leach out nutrients and taste.
That’s why a simple TikTok hack from @jeauxp (Jourdyn) stopped me in my tracks:
“Stop boiling your potatoes in water. Use chicken stock instead.”
And after one bite?
I’ll never go back.
