My kids, in particular, have a soft spot in their hearts for mashed potatoes; they ask for it on a near-daily basis. I cook mashed potatoes at least once a week despite my best efforts to increase their intake of veggies and greens. It may come as a surprise, but my husband and I both really like this popular meal.
I found a recommendation from a TikToker called Jourdyn (@jeauxp) when searching Instagram and TikTok for recipes. She suggested an unusual ingredient: chicken stock. This unexpected inclusion piqued my interest, so I set out to investigate its possibilities.
Leaving the potato skins on is the first unorthodox step in Jourdyn’s approach. She peels the chickens, washes them well, and then boils them in a combination of water and chicken stock. I wanted to try her method as it was different from the usual formula.
