Upgrade your Mashed Potatoes: Quick and Flavorful with Ciao Bella Crispy Chilli Oil!
Mashed potaotes with Ciao Bella crispy chilli oilHave you tried making your mash in the microwave? I was gifted a set of Cook Anyday microwave safe bowls, and I LOVE them. Microwaving got a bad rap in the 90's, but the reality is microwaving is smart and healthy- microwaving in plastic is terrible. So make sure you have some glass or ceramic containers to get the most from your microwave. Microwaving your potatoes leads to the most potatoey mashed potato I've ever had. It keeps all the flavour instead of it sneaking out into your boiling water. I guess roasting the potatoes in the skin then peeling would also work, but who has that kind of time, or interest in using the oven just for one thing. To take your mashed potatoes to the next level, we'll add an addictive twist: Ciao Bella Crispy Chilli Oil. Add a touch of sophistication, elevating your humble mash into a gourmet delight.Join us on this culinary journey where innovation meets simplicity, and create a remarkable mashed potato masterpiece that will leave everyone craving for more. It's time to embrace the microwave's wonders and elevate your taste buds with the magic of Ciao Bella Crispy Chilli Oil.
