Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe
Mashed potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, but you can take them up a notch with garlic and black pepper. Serve them at your next holiday meal to rave reviews.
Ingredients
- 4 servings yukon gold potatoes, 6 potatoes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons butter, plus more for garnish
- 2 cloves garlics, minced
Directions
- Wash and peel potatoes. Dice them into 1" squares. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Place on the stove on high heat for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes break apart when pierced with a fork.
- Heat the serving bowl you plan to use by placing it in the oven (if oven safe) or in a sink full of very hot water.
- Strain the water away from the potatoes and return the potatoes to the pot. Mash with the Smood potato masher until all potatoes have been broken down fairly well.
- Add cream, three tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, kosher salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. Stir or mash further with Smood until the potatoes reach the desired consistency.
- Spoon potatoes into the serving dish, taking care to dry it beforehand if heated in hot water. Press the spoon into the top of the potatoes and drop a couple more tablespoons of fresh butter on top of the potatoes.
- Serve immediately.
