Garlic Mashed Potatoes

-->

Hi! I love potatoes, as you guys know from my past posts… This recipe is super good; nothing better than butter and garlic with potatoes! These mashed potatoes are the ones that appeared in the honey glazed thighs recipe yesterday. Hope you guys enjoy this recipe as much as my husband did. He just couldn’t get enough! : )

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of kosher salt

4 large russet potatoes

8 tablespoons of unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves minced

½ cup of milk

½ cup of heavy cream

Procedure:

Put a large pot of water to boil and add the two teaspoons of kosher salt. 

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch cubes. When you see the water boil add the potatoes and cook until tender. (From 10 to 15 minutes.)

While you are boiling the potatoes heat the butter in a medium skillet. 

 

When the butter is melted add the minced garlic. (I prefer a garlic press for this.) Cook over low heat until the garlic starts changing color. Be careful not to let burn the butter. Take the pan off the heat and let it rest.

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes. 

Gradually add the milk and cream (I put both in one big bowl and add them as one) while mashing the potatoes. 

Stir in the garlic mixture and add the remaining teaspoon of salt. 

Make sure to mix well.

Enjoy!
