Most hostesses do not feel difficulties in preparing mashed potatoes. As a rule, milk and butter are added to it to make the dish fluffy and airy. However, it is possible to prepare delicious mashed potatoes without these ingredients. So cooked in Soviet times, when products were expensive, it was necessary to save money, and delicious and airy mashed potatoes wanted to eat often.
This method of preparation is also ideal when there is no milk on hand and you are already in the mood to make mashed potatoes.
Here’s the secret.
Let’s cook the potatoes in a pot. Then the water in which it was boiled, pour into another container. This potato broth will allow you to replace milk. In the process of cooking mashed potatoes, we pour in the necessary amount of potato water, achieving a suitable consistency.
To replace butter, we use creamy margarine
.
In order not to feel the difference, we add 1-2 cloves of garlic pressed through the press. Only we do not use raw garlic, but baked in the oven.
As a result, our dish is delicious and economical.
We did not have to use expensive products, and mashed potatoes turned out airy. Be sure to try making mashed potatoes at home, like in Soviet catering.
