chicken broth to mostly cover them. Add a little water if necessary.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Save Some Cooking Liquid
Before draining the potatoes, reserve about ½ cup of the broth.
This flavorful liquid can be added back while mashing to help create a smooth, rich consistency.
4. Mash Until Creamy
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add butter, warm milk, black pepper, and a small amount of the reserved broth. Mash until creamy, adding more liquid if needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Why Chicken Broth Makes a Difference
