Now, before we get started, let's cover the basics: there are a few ways to thicken mashed potatoes, and the most common methods involve using starches or thickeners. You can use flour, cornstarch, or even grated cheese to add some extra oomph to your mash. Just remember, a little goes a long way - you don't want to end up with a gluey mess!
So, which method should you choose? Well, that depends on the type of potatoes you're using and the desired consistency. If you're using high-starch potatoes like Russet or Idaho, you might not need to add as much thickener. But if you're using waxier potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, you might need a bit more help.
