Why You Should Rethink Adding This 1 Ingredient to Mashed Potatoes

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

TikTok has become a go-to source for recipe ideas, cooking hacks, and prep tips that keep us scrolling for inspiration. Creators have brought us many brilliant ideas that are keepers. However, not all TikTok ideas are created equal, and some may be problematic.

Recently, the practice of adding instant yeast to already cooked mashed potatoes has been a hot topic on social media. It’s supposed to make the mashers fluffier and give them a savory, bready flavor. 

Traditional mashed potatoes are already fantastic, so adding a bready note to them might have you wondering, “Why bother?” But since the yeasted version is so popular right now, Allrecipes culinary producer Nicole McLaughlin had to try it for herself.

Greek Bean Soup

My grandmother learned to make this delicious bean soup while living in Greece. I love fasolada because it’s easy, cheap to make, and great for feeding large groups.

Why You Should Rethink This Common Use for Foil

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

When you go out to eat and order a baked potato as your side dish, chances are the potato arrives at the table neatly wrapped in foil, topped with butter, sour cream and any other accoutrements you desire. Digging in, you find yourself peeling away the foil to get to the, well, potato peel. In fact, wrapping your potato in foil before baking it may even be the way you make baked potatoes at home.

So, just why do chefs and home cooks bake their potatoes wrapped in foil? Does it really make a difference? Or, is there a better way? We checked in with the experts.
