FAQs: Answering Your Top Questions
Q: Can I use broth instead of water?
A: Yes! Broth infuses flavor and avoids starch loss—skip water altogether.

Q: How to prevent dryness?
A: Use warm milk or cream when mashing—cold liquids shock the starch!

Q: Is boiling potatoes ever okay?
A: Only for potato salad (where gluey texture helps bind), not for creamy mash.

Q: What if I don’t have a steamer?
A: Use a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp water—cover and heat in 2-minute bursts.
