Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup garlic cloves, peeled (about 1 head)
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream, half-and-half, or creme fraiche

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring the garlic and oil to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the oil.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. With a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the water, reserving the cooking water, and remove the garlic from the oil, reserving the oil.
  • Process the potatoes and garlic through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add the reserved olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, cream, and 3/4 cup of the cooking water to the potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon. Add more cooking water, if necessary, until the potatoes are creamy but still firm. Season, to taste, and serve hot.

SIMPLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Simple Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

This is a fairly quick and simple version of garlic mashed potatoes. It goes well with just about any kind of meat or poultry, as well as many other meals. If you want to make this vegan or fleishig, reserve some of the cooking liquid to use in place of milk, and replace the butter with margarine.

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large red potatoes, unpeeled, cut into uniform quarters
4 -5 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut in halves
butter
hot milk
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and garlic into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by poking a few wedges with a fork or skewer--if still firm, cook another minute or two and check again. Repeat until tender. Drain, taking care not to lose garlic cloves. Return potatoes to warm pot.
  • Mash potatoes. Do not overwork, or potatoes will be tough (it's okay if there's a few lumps--it just means these are real potatoes, not from a box). Make sure to smash up the garlic, or pull out the cloves and squeeze in a garlic press.
  • Add some butter, to taste (I usually use 2-3 T), and salt and pepper, also to taste. Mix until butter has melted.
  • Add a little hot milk and beat it into the potatoes. Continue until potatoes are desired creaminess (the amount I use varies, but I usually use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, give or take a bit).
  • Cover pot with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Potatoes will stay hot for 10-15 minutes this way.
  • Serve with a pat of butter in an indentation on top.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties are known for their fluffy and creamy texture, making them ideal for mashed potatoes.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until they are tender. Do not overcook the potatoes, as this will make them gluey.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them. Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes too thin.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. If you don't have either of these tools, you can use a fork or potato masher, but be sure to mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth.
  • Add the butter, milk, and seasonings to the mashed potatoes while they are still hot. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly and create a flavorful dish.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy, fluffy, or cheesy, there is a garlic mashed potato recipe out there for everyone.
