Garlic mashed potatoes
Posted in : Potatoes, Recipes, Side dish on by : SpiceGuy
For four:
Wash, peel, and cut into several pieces, 4 potatoes
Peel at least two cloves of good, fresh garlic for each potato. Leave them whole.
Put the potatoes and garlic in the boiling water at the same time. This cooks the garlic and helps flavor the potatoes at the same time.
Boil gently until a piece of potato breaks when stabbed with a fork.
Carefully drain and try not to lose the garlic!
Return to the pan over very low heat.
Mash as much or as little as you like ’em.
Add a bunch of butter. 1/3-1/2 a stick. And about 1/3 cup of milk(or chicken broth) and stir.
Season with salt and pepper
AT this point many times I’ll add some torn up fresh basil, or some finely minced rosemary.
Instead of the fresh garlic sometimes try adding roasted garlic…oh man…Honey start peelin’ some spuds…
