Following Jourdyn’s steps, I boiled the potatoes with their skins on and then mashed them, incorporating butter, reserved broth, and black pepper. The result was astonishing—the broth infused the potatoes with a subtle umami flavor, complemented by the rustic texture provided by the skins.

Expanding Culinary Horizons
Encouraged by this success, I began experimenting further. Inspired by another TikTok user, I added sour cream and chopped chives to the next batch, enhancing the flavor profile and visual appeal of the dish.

My journey into TikTok cooking hacks didn’t stop at mashed potatoes. I embraced other tips, like adding nutmeg to spinach or using bread to soften brown sugar. These simple yet effective techniques have elevated my culinary skills and broadened my culinary repertoire.
