Shoutout to my aunt who insisted on using a whole stick of butter in her mashed potatoes, which I thought was crazy until I tried it at my place last Thanksgiving.

I always skimped on the fat to make them 'healthier', but after a dry, gluey batch, I followed her lead and the potatoes were actually creamy and held their heat for the whole meal, so has anyone else found a 'too much' ingredient that actually fixes a common cooking problem?

Add a full cup of sour cream to your scrambled eggs, it sounds insane but they stay super moist and fluffy.

A full cup is way too much for most people. A couple tablespoons does the same thing without making them taste weird.
