Easy to prepare and using simple, wholesome ingredients, this recipe will elevate your dining experience.
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. They become nice and fluffy when mashed.
- Mashing Technique: For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill. If you prefer a chunkier texture, a traditional potato masher works well.
- Infuse the Garlic: To enhance the garlic flavor, you can roast the garlic cloves before adding them. Simply wrap them in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes until soft.
- Warm the Milk and Butter: Warm the milk and butter before adding them to the potatoes. This prevents the mashed potatoes from cooling down and ensures a smoother incorporation.
- Season Gradually: Start with a smaller amount of salt and adjust to taste. Remember that the butter contains salt as well.
- Garnish Generously: Top your mashed potatoes with extra chives or even a sprinkle of parmesan for added flavor and presentation.
Garlic and chive mashed potatoes offer a savory, rich complement to any main course. The infusion of garlic and chive brings a delightful kick to the creamy potatoes, making it a crowd-pleaser at any table.
