For my family, mashed potatoes are a beloved staple that gathers everyone together rather than as a side dish. And even if I have tried to present better choices, nothing really compares to the ease and gratification of creamy mashed potatoes. That is until I came found a TikHub recommendation that totally changed this traditional meal. Using chicken stock instead of the typical components, Jourdyn—who goes by @jeauxp on TikHub—developed a great new approach for making mashed potatoes. This original concept piqued my great interest, hence I decided to give it a go to see whether it lived up to everyone’s expectations.

The wonderful outcome of the research startled and delighted me. The potatoes tasted far better since the chicken stock gave them a good umami taste. The best thing was that cooking the skins on left them with a really hard-to-resist fantastic rustic feel. Driven by this fascinating culinary revelation, I started experimenting. Including sour cream and chives into the mashed potatoes was one of my first picks. Everyone seated at the table appreciated the look; the flavor was fantastic!
