🔥 Pro Tips for the Best Lobster & Mashed Potatoes
💡 Use fresh lobster tails – If frozen, thaw them completely before cooking for the best texture.
💡 Don’t overcook! – Lobster cooks quickly; broiling too long can make it rubbery.
💡 Upgrade the mashed potatoes – Add grated Parmesan or roasted garlic for an extra flavor boost.
💡 Pair it with wine – A chilled Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc complements this dish perfectly.
