Garlic mashed potatoes

Garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and comforting side dish, perfect for any meal. This recipe combines the creaminess of butter and milk with the rich, aromatic flavor of garlic to create a mouthwatering dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.

Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1750g
3 tbsp butter
44g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 cup milk (2% fat)
220g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by washing and peeling the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Prepare the Garlic:
- While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves.
- Mince or finely chop the garlic cloves.
4. Heat the Milk and Butter:
- In a small saucepan, combine the butter and minced garlic.
- Cook over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the milk to the saucepan and heat until warm, but do not let it boil.
5. Mash the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
- Using a potato masher or ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth. If you prefer chunkier mashed potatoes, mash until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Combine Ingredients:
- Pour the warm milk and garlic-butter mixture over the mashed potatoes.
- Stir well to combine, ensuring the potatoes absorb the milk and butter.
7. Season and Serve:
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir to make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the garlic mashed potatoes hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite meals.

Tips:

- Use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for the best texture.

- Boil the potatoes in salted water for added flavor.

- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill instead of a traditional masher.

- Warm the milk before adding it to the potatoes to ensure it combines smoothly and doesn’t cool down the mixture.

- Roast the garlic cloves in the oven or sauté them in butter for a richer flavor before adding to the potatoes.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and creamy garlic mashed potato dish that will impress your family and friends. These mashed potatoes are perfect for holiday gatherings, weeknight dinners, or any time you crave a comforting and delicious side dish.
