Why You Should Stop Boiling Potatoes in Water: A Flavorful Alternative

 

1. Prepare the potatoes

  • Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave skins on for a rustic texture.

  • Cut into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches) for even cooking.

2. Cook the potatoes in milk (not water)

  • Place potatoes in a wide saucepan or Dutch oven.

  • Pour in enough milk to just cover the potatoes.

  • Add salt and optional garlic.

  • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (do not boil aggressively).

  • Cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very tender and the milk has reduced slightly.

3. Mash directly in the pot
