10 secrets of making delicious mashed potatoes

1. Choose a yellowish potato - it is easier to digest.
2. Do not keep the potatoes in the water for a long time - this is how the starch is washed out, and the puree becomes “watery”.
3. Potatoes are not enough to shred, it is recommended to almost beat it until creamy. This will not only improve the consistency, but also get rid of lumps.
4. To give a gentle taste, use yogurt or mayonnaise, but in small quantities - the casserole can fall apart.
5. If you cook for children - add cottage cheese. Taste is not felt, and for children - benefit.
6. Add the egg to the crushed potatoes and beat. The mass will be more plastic.
7. Do not save butter; without it, the casserole base will not be dense enough.
8. Do not add a lot of milk or cream - excessively “liquid” mashed potatoes cannot be used to prepare casseroles.
9. If the puree is not dense enough - let it stand, it will thicken.
10. Potatoes can be combined with other grated vegetables.
