Introduction
Boiling potatoes in water has been the standard for generations. It’s quick, it’s easy — but here’s the truth: you’re boiling away flavor and missing out on creamy, seasoned, next-level potatoes. If your mashed, roasted, or potato salad dishes have ever felt bland or “meh,” the water might be the real culprit.
By simply tweaking the way you cook your potatoes, you can infuse them with rich, savory depth from the inside out, even before adding butter or seasoning. Let’s dive into a smarter, tastier method that transforms your potato dishes from basic to unforgettable.
