save the cooking water and then whenever you reheat the potatoes, add a bit of it them. it makes them taste really good.

Thanks for the tip - I never thought of that. My mom used to use some of the potato cooking water to make gravy.

I use the starchy water to help mash the potatoes and make any type of gravy. I don’t put milk in my mashed potatoes, and the starch helps thicken whatever type of gravy I make.

@RedTop. Interesting. I'll have to try this with the starchy water.

My mom used potato water in a couple of different recipes.
