GARLIC MASHED POTATOES (COOK'S COUNTRY METHOD)



Garlic Mashed Potatoes (Cook's Country Method) image

From Cook's Country TV. Some notes: 1) This method is to avoid the washed-away flavor of boiled potatoes. 2. The purpose of the sugar is to mimic that sweet flavor without oven roasting. 3) Cut the potatoes into small pieces to allow more surface area to soak up garlic flavor and to promote even cooking. 4) ...and most importantly, to eliminate excess starch, which produces gluey mashed potatoes, give the raw, cut russets a good rinse under running water before adding them to the pot to simmer.

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 lbs russet potatoes, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
12 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup water
salt and pepper
parsley, cheddar cheese or scallion, optional garnish

Steps:

  • Place cut potatoes in colander. Rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. This is a very important step to eliminate excess starch, which produces gluey mashed potatoes.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook garlic and sugar, stirring often, until sticky and straw colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rinsed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups half-and-half, water and 1 teaspoon salt to pot and stir to combine. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add remaining butter to pot and mash with potato masher until smooth. Using rubber spatula, fold in remaining half-and-half until liquid is absorbed and potatoes are creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top with garnish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
3 medium Yukon gold potatoes
Salt

Steps:

  • Place the olive oil in a small saute pan set over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, and cook until garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and set aside.
  • Peel the potatoes, and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Place chunks in a medium saucepan filled with cold water. Add 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until a knife inserted into a potato chunk comes out easily. Drain potatoes in a colander set over a heat-proof bowl, reserving 1/3 cup cooking water. Transfer potatoes and reserved water to a medium bowl.
  • Using a whisk, mash the potatoes and reserved cooking water until smooth. Whisk in the reserved olive oil and garlic. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great for mashing, as they have a fluffy texture and absorb butter and milk well.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy: You can use a potato masher, a food mill, or even a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add butter, milk, and seasonings to taste: The amount of butter and milk you add will depend on your desired consistency. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or roasted garlic: This will add a pop of flavor and color to your mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like them creamy and smooth or chunky and rustic, garlic mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
