Mashed potatoes are my kids’ absolute favorite meal. They ask for it almost every day. Well, I’d rather give them vegetables and greens, but what can I say, they are very stubborn with their food choices. So, if I want them to eat well, I have to make mashed potatoes a few times a week. It’s not just my kids who are crazy about it; me and my husband love mashed potatoes too! We often brainstorm how we can make it more delicious. Scrolling through Instagram and TikTok—embarrassingly often—I stumbled across a tip from a TikToker named Jourdyn, who goes by the handle @jeauxp. I thought, “What more can you do to mashed potatoes?” But apparently, there’s a lot more.
According to Jourdyn, the secret ingredient is… chicken stock! (or broth, doesn’t really matter). I could never have thought of that on my own. Usually, my recipe was pretty standard: boil the potatoes in water and salt, mash them up with butter and milk, and that’s it. But Jourdyn introduced me to a whole new world of flavors.
