Final Thoughts
Once you understand why you should never boil mashed potatoes in water, you’ll see how this simple technique transforms your results. By simmering potatoes in milk, cream, and butter, you create mashed potatoes that are irresistibly creamy, rich, and full of flavor — with zero risk of blandness. It’s the ultimate upgrade for a classic comfort food favorite.
