Thanks to social media, people from different countries feel much closer than ever before. Sometimes it even feels like popular bloggers all live in the same neighborhood. People all over the world share their stories and experiences, and what’s really great is how open they are to learning from each other. And sometimes, even something as simple as potatoes can spark a big international conversation!
To be more specific — mashed potatoes! This side dish, loved by so many, turned out to be a favorite in many countries, not just one. That became clear during a fun and lively discussion on TikTok under a video posted by Lauren Legg, a woman from the UK. She shared her own special way of making mashed potatoes, and it quickly caught people’s attention. Lauren explained that none of her friends made mashed potatoes the way she did, so she thought it would be helpful to make a video.
One common problem with mashed potatoes is the lumps — those small chunks that won’t mash, no matter how long you try. Lauren said she found a way to solve this issue using just two simple tricks.
First, she stopped cooking potatoes in water. Instead, she boils them in milk. She noticed that this gives the potatoes a smooth, creamy texture — no matter what type of potato she uses.
Second, instead of using a regular potato masher, she whips the potatoes with a hand mixer that has a whisk attachment. This helps her get a soft and fluffy result every time.
She had already shown this method to her friends, who loved it. Once she shared it online, her video quickly went viral. In just a few hours, it had millions of views and thousands of positive comments from people all over the world.
