CREAMY mashed potato is the ultimate side dish – but it can also be quite challenging to get it spot on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After all, no-one wants flavourless or lumpy mash, right?<\/p>\n

Well, luckily for you, a food pro has revealed the best way to make mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

And it turns out we\u2019ve all be making a big mistake, as according to this expert, we need to stop boiling our spuds in water if we want it to be extra creamy – yes, you heard that correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to this whizz, if you want to make the best mashed potatoes, you need to boil your potatoes in milk.<\/p>\n

Rosie Gill, director of Milk Street Cooking<\/span> School, took to social media to share her mashed potatoes recipe – leaving many open-mouthed.<\/p>\n

She explained that it\u2019s time to stop boiling your potatoes in water – as you\u2019ll need to use milk instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She revealed: \u201cWe simmer your mashed potatoes in milk, not water! And here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

\u201cPotatoes are like pasta, they release starches into their cooking liquid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat becomes liquid gold – allowing us to get lush, silky, creamy, mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you throw out water that you cook your potatoes in, you throw all that starch down the drain, so you\u2019re wasting it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe milk becomes our cooking liquid – and a replacement for heavy cream.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she showed off her finished side dish, she added: \u201cWe just mash the potatoes directly in the pot – no mixer needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is how we get still creamy, but not too heavy, mashed potatoes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rosie later confirmed: \u201cIn 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But social media users were divided at the cooking tip – while some were impressed, not everyone was as keen.<\/p>\n

One person said: \u201cAwesome tip! I\u2019m married to this from now on!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another added: \u201cBrilliant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A third commented: \u201cGenius.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst another food fan beamed: \u201cGreat idea.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, not everyone was impressed with the foodie\u2019s hack and many revealed that they didn\u2019t actually think her mash looked that great.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One user claimed: \u201cTried it – weird mush. Prefer chicken broth or chicken stock with water.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second penned: \u201cLooks v lumpy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Someone else chimed in: \u201cThey don't look smooth though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst another wrote: \u201cThat mash looks way too wet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
