The right way to make mashed potatoes is by hand, according to one expert. Food blogger Alejandra Ramos of AlwaysOrderDessert.com says it’s the best method. “It's a little bit more work, but you're going to get lighter, fluffier potatoes,” she said. After boiling broccoli, don't immediately serve it to your family, she advises. “Shock them in a bowl of ice cold water after you boil them,” says Ramos. “This is going to stop the cooking process and keep them bright green and crispy.”
