Mashed potatoes are more than just a side dish in my family; they’re a treasured tradition that unite us all. Furthermore, nothing quite beats the coziness and gratification of creamy mashed potatoes, despite my best efforts to offer healthier alternatives. That is, until I came across a TikTok tip that revolutionized this traditional dish.
Using chicken stock, user Jourdyn, also known as @jeauxp on TikTok, shared a creative take on classic mashed potatoes. I was intrigued by this out-of-the-ordinary concept and made the decision to test it out to see whether it could live up to the buzz.
I was astonished and delighted to see what amazing results we got. The potatoes’ flavor was elevated to a whole new level by the subtle umami flavor that the chicken stock added. The best part was that, when boiling, leaving the skins on gave the dish an incredibly appealing rustic feel.
Inspired by this unexpected gastronomic discovery, I kept experimenting. My personal favorite was the mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives added to them. Everybody at the table was amazed with the presentation and the fantastic flavor combo.
However, my gastronomic adventure on TikTok didn’t end there. Along the road, I learned even more amazing techniques. For instance, I discovered that a dash of nutmeg can give spinach a completely different flavor profile. And who would have guessed that hardened brown sugar might be softened by a piece of plain bread?
I’ll tell you what, these unorthodox tips have not only increased my culinary skills but also given my food a unique flair. It’s incredible how a minor adjustment or surprising addition can make all the difference in a recipe.
So the next time you’re making mashed potatoes, why not give these unusual twists a go if you’re feeling daring? You never know when you might find your new go-to recipe while experimenting with unusual ingredients or trying out TikTok hacks. Your taste buds will appreciate it, I promise!
Mom goes to the bathroom to nurse her child, and a waitress slips her husband a note.
Jackie Johnson-Smith was treated to an unanticipated act of kindness while dining with her family at a pizza restaurant in Iowa.
She shared a picture of the restaurant bill along with the statement, “I have breastfed three children,” on Facebook. I have cared for them in countless situations, both public and private, at happy and unhappy times. Even though I’ve had a lot of looks and stares, tonight dispels all of that bad vibe. It was my first time eating at Fongs tonight. I spent some time in the booth nursing my grumpy baby before getting up early to avoid disturbing the other diners.
“The waitress gave this receipt to my hubby. I couldn’t talk because I was so upset. I don’t deserve a pat on the back for feeding my child, but it felt amazing. The final words of the letter were, “It’s amazing how women can empower and feel for one another.
The message was written by waitress Bodi Kinney, who told KCCI 8 News in Des Moines, “We need to come together and support each other when it comes to nursing our children.”
