Savory Mashed Potatoes (Stock-based)

Mashed potatoes made with stock are a delicious twist on the classic side dish, bringing depth and richness to every bite. By replacing some or all of the milk or cream with chicken, vegetable, or beef stock, the potatoes absorb a savory flavor that enhances their natural creaminess.

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes?The stock in this recipe not only adds moisture but also infuses the mash with a subtle complexity that pairs beautifully with roasted meats, hearty stews, or even grilled vegetables. For an extra touch, fold in roasted garlic, fresh herbs like parsley or chives, and a generous pat of butter to create a dish that’s both comforting and gourmet. Perfectly seasoned and irresistibly flavorful, these mashed potatoes elevate any meal.

There are many variations on the humble mashed potato, but I have found that this one is packed with flavor. Enjoy! – Alex
