“Why Boiling Potatoes in Water Ruins Your Mash: The Secret to Next-Level Creamy Potatoes”
Introduction
We’ve been taught from day one to boil potatoes in water for mashed potatoes. It’s the standard method passed down for generations. But here’s the truth: boiling potatoes in plain water can actually drain flavor and ruin texture — making your mashed potatoes bland, watery, and gluey.

Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: garlic cloves or herbs for infusion
