How you’ve been making mashed potatoes TOTALLY wrong – stop boiling them in water if you want it extra creamy
IF you’re planning a tasty creamy mash for your Christmas dinner, look no further.
A cooking expert has shared her tips for perfecting the festive side dish.
The chef revealed that you’ve probably been making your mash all wrong.
According to the expert, we need to stop boiling our spuds in water if we want it to be extra creamy – yes, you heard that correctly.
If you want to make the best mashed potatoes, you need to boil your potatoes in milk.
Rosie Gill, director of Milk Street Cooking School, took to social media to share her mashed potatoes recipe – leaving many open-mouthed.
She explained that it’s time to stop boiling your potatoes in water – as you’ll need to use milk instead.
She revealed: “We simmer your mashed potatoes in milk, not water! And here’s why.
“Potatoes are like pasta, they release starches into their cooking liquid.
“That becomes liquid gold – allowing us to get lush, silky, creamy, mashed potatoes.
“When you throw out water that you cook your potatoes in, you throw all that starch down the drain, so you’re wasting it.
“The milk becomes our cooking liquid – and a replacement for heavy cream.”
As she showed off her finished side dish, she added: “We just mash the potatoes directly in the pot – no mixer needed.
“And that is how we get still creamy, but not too heavy, mashed potatoes.”
Rosie later confirmed: “In the case of pasta, you want to reserve some of that liquid to give the sauce a luscious shine and bind it to the noodles.
“In mashed potatoes, cooking in milk, and preserving that starchy liquid, gives your potatoes a natural creaminess and allows you to skip the weighty heavy cream.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @177milkstreet, has clearly left many stunned, as it was shared just one day ago, but has quickly gone viral, and has racked up a staggering 3.3 million views.
Fridge or cupboard? The essential food storage guide
Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria.
Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer.
However, this can compromise the flavour.
Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould.
Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables.
He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot.
Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste.
He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker.
But social media users were divided at the cooking tip – while some were impressed, not everyone was as keen.
One person said: “Awesome tip! I’m married to this from now on!”
Another added: “Brilliant.”
A third commented: “Genius.”
Whilst another food fan beamed: “Great idea.”
However, not everyone was impressed with the foodie’s hack and many revealed that they didn’t actually think her mash looked that great.
One user claimed: “Tried it – weird mush. Prefer chicken broth or chicken stock with water.”
A second penned: “Looks v lumpy.”
Someone else chimed in: “They don’t look smooth though.”
Whilst another wrote: “That mash looks way too wet.”

UFC is faced with its biggest headache ever after Conor McGregor was found to have assaulted woman
THE UFC is being faced with a huge dilemma.
Its poster boy, Conor McGregor, was today found to have assaulted a woman in December 2018 following a civil trial.
The 36-year-old was accused of “brutally raping and battering” Nikita Hand at a south Dublin hotel.
He previously told the court he had consensual sex with Ms Hand, 35.
But the jury in the civil case against McGregor today found he did assault the mum-of-one.
He is now being ordered to pay 248,603.60 euros in damages.
Despite losing his case, McGregor has vowed to appeal.
But the Irishman’s future in MMA and UFC is in doubt.
McGregor has not fought since he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
UFC boss Dana White had outlined a plan for him to return next year.
However, those arrangements may have to be reconsidered in the wake of the civil case outcome.
Here’s what SunSport’s chief MMA reporter Chisanga Malata believes could happen next…
What’s next for McGregor?
“The ruling, which came in a civil court, not a criminal court, has given the UFC arguably its biggest-ever headache in its 31-year run. MMA chiefs will now have to make a major decision over their poster boy.
“Personally, I think he fights again. There is a precedent for it. Just look at the man who fought Jake Paul last week. Of course, I’m talking about former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who was sent to jail in the 1990s for rape. He came out and he had a successful career after that, making millions upon millions of pounds before retiring in 2005.
“Sadly, there is a precedent for it. But the UFC now has a massive decision to make. As I said, I think he fights again. I think they stick to the plan that was announced last week at the UFC 309 post-fight press conference and they have him fight late 2025.
“Perhaps they said late 2025 in anticipation of this ruling not going McGregor’s way and giving some time for this to blow over – even though something of this magnitude can never, ever blow over.
“I believe McGregor will fight again barring a sensational decision from Dana White and all the investors and they axe their poster boy. But I just don’t see that happening and I do see him returning to the octagon late next year.
“Questions will have to be asked of the UFC and rightly so. But more so of the man himself, Mr McGregor.”

Але є умова: суничним кущам […]Harlem Eubank vs Nurali Erdogan LIVE RESULTS: Main event ON NOW as nephew of boxing legend looks to go 20-0 – updates
