Mashed potatoes can be considered successful if they are tender, airy and have a rich taste.
The opposite of the ideal is a tasteless, grey and sticky mass. A number of mistakes lead to this result. One of them concerns the preparation of tubers for cooking.
Expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, chef Yulia Arkhipova explained why you shouldn’t cut potatoes before cooking.
This may seem strange, because many people are used to doing it this way. It reduces the cooking time.
But the devil is in the details. If you cut up potatoes, there is a slight chance that they will overcook and absorb too much water.
Of course, if the size of the tuber is truly heroic, then you can cut it in half or even divide it into quarters.
But you definitely shouldn't make it too small. Let the potatoes cook a little longer, but the dish will be tastier.
We previously told you how to improve the taste of fish cutlets. There is one ingredient that works wonders with minced meat.
