FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you use chicken broth?
Chicken broth adds another level of flavor that you do not get with just plain water. It levels up mashed potatoes and takes them over the top!
Can these be made on the stove top?
You certainly can. Just place the potatoes in a large pot with chicken broth and bring to a boil, then continue with the rest of the recipe instructions.
Can I make these mashed potatoes ahead of time?
Yes — and they reheat wonderfully. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk and warm them gently in the crock pot or on the stove, stirring occasionally until smooth.
How do I stop mashed potatoes from turning gummy?
Use a potato masher or a hand mixer on low. Avoid over-mixing, which can break down the starches and create a gluey texture. Gently mash until they’re smooth and fluffy.

Once the potatoes are tender, drain off the chicken broth. (Yes—you’re discarding the cooking liquid at this point.)
