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

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

This classic potato dish is always on everyone's favorites list for a Thanksgiving side.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 medium russet potatoes (about 4 pounds)
1 head peeled garlic cloves (about 15)
Coarse salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and quarter lengthwise; cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick. In a 5-quart saucepan, combine potatoes and garlic cloves; cover with water (about 8 cups) by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Drain; return garlic and potatoes to pan. Stir over medium-high heat until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a small saucepan, bring milk to a boil; pour over potatoes. Add butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Tips:

  • For the best-mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. They have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth when mashed.
  • Make sure to peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly.
  • When boiling the potatoes, add a generous amount of salt to the water. This will help flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. This will help them absorb the butter and milk more easily.
  • For a creamy and smooth texture, mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or food mill. You can also use a hand mixer or electric mixer, but be careful not to overmix them, or they will become gluey.
  • To ensure the best flavor, use real butter and whole milk when making mashed potatoes. You can also add sour cream or cream cheese for extra richness.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as parsley, chives, or rosemary.
  • To make garlic mashed potatoes with eggplant, simply roast the eggplant and then add it to the mashed potatoes along with the garlic. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy and smooth or chunky and rustic, there is a garlic mashed potato recipe out there for you.
