Perfect Steamed Mashed Potatoes

Fluffy, flavorful, and never waterlogged — the secret to perfect mashed potatoes is skipping the boil.

Why Not Boil?
Boiling potatoes can:

Make them waterlogged and dense.

Wash away flavor and nutrients.

Release excess starch into the water, changing texture.

Why Steam Instead?
Steaming:

Retains natural moisture.

Preserves flavor and nutrients.

Creates a lighter, fluffier mash.
