Most people make three main mistakes when cooking mashed potatoes. This was stated by British chef, Michelin star owner, and host of the British version of MasterChef. The Professionals" by Marcus Wareing.

According to him, these mistakes make it impossible to make airy mashed potatoes, Birmingham Live reports.

  • The first mistake you make is when you cut the potatoes into different pieces. Marcus Wareing says that pieces of the same size are very important. If you cut the potatoes unevenly, there is a risk that the smaller pieces will turn out to be overcooked. This will make the mashed potatoes watery and tasteless.
  • The second mistake you make is when you cook potatoes on too high a heat. According to the chef, they should be cooked only over low heat in salted water. For those who do not follow this advice, the mashed potatoes turn out to be overcooked, which also negatively affects the consistency of the dish.
  • The third mistake people make is when they start chopping potatoes right away. Marcus says that after cooking, you need to drain the water from the pot and let the mashed potatoes "rest" for five minutes. Only then do you start mashing the potatoes, adding butter, cheese, and herbs.
