Stop Boiling Mashed Potatoes in Water — Try This Instead

Mashed potatoes are already a comfort-food favorite, but one simple change can make them much richer and more flavorful: cook the potatoes in chicken broth instead of plain water.

The potatoes absorb extra flavor while they cook, giving you creamy mashed potatoes that taste delicious even before adding the usual butter and seasonings.

  • Water, if needed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup warm milk or cream
