Most housewives in the process of preparing mashed potatoes face such a nuisance as the lack of milk at home. Of course, there is nothing wrong with going to the store. But only if the grocery store is right next to your house. If you have to go far for milk, spending a lot of energy and time, then there is no special desire to eat mashed potatoes. In this case, cooks advise to replace milk with other popular products.
What to replace milk in mashed potatoes
According to professionals, there are three alternatives for milk in the process of preparing mashed potatoes. We are talking about sour cream, cream or meat broth. For example, sour cream will make the structure of the dish creamy. It is enough to mix sour cream, potato broth and butter in a separate bowl, and then mix everything thoroughly and pour it into the potatoes.
Cream will be found in the house of everyone who cannot imagine his morning without a cup of coffee. Such a dairy product will make the puree taste tender, creamy and refined. Cooks advise to pour no more than 150 grams of cream into a pot with potatoes, before mixing it with a small amount of broth left after cooking potatoes.
If there is no sour cream or cream left in the refrigerator, then there is no need to be upset. In this case, experts advise using any broth. If there is water left after cooking vegetables or meat, feel free to add it to the potatoes. In this way, you will add a special and refined aroma to the dish, the taste of vegetables or meat.
