What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's? (lemmy.world)

Mine probably isn't that secret these days, but almost every sauce I add nutritional yeast to. Curry, chilli, bolognese, it just makes them all better.

Parmesan in mashed potato. Not enough to be cheesy, just for some unami. Also using grainy mustard.

I like Sour cream in mashed potatoes, but this sounds heavenly. Do you use grated or flaked?

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Little bit grated in is all you need. That's the beauty of cooking with flavour enhancers, you can use more or less depending on how you like it.

My husband sometimes uses mayonnaise. If he told me in advance, I'd have turned up my nose at it, but it worked quite well and I only found out after tasting.
