It's actually pretty cool to think about the science behind mashed potatoes. You see, when you boil potatoes, they absorb water, which makes them starchier. And when you mash them, those starches get broken down, making the potatoes all gluey and stuff.
But here's the thing: if you add too much liquid to the potatoes, it's like you're drowning them. The starches can't do their thing, and you end up with a big ol' bowl of potato goo. It's like trying to build a sandcastle in the ocean - it's just not gonna work, you know?
So, what can you do to fix your runny mashed potatoes? Well, one trick is to add some butter or cheese to absorb some of that excess liquid. It's like adding a sponge to soak up all the extra moisture - pretty cool, huh?
