Tips:

Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes due to their creamy and fluffy texture when cooked.
Don't Overcook the Potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become gluey and lose their texture. Cook them just until tender, then drain and return to the pot to allow residual heat to dry out excess moisture.
Use Fresh Garlic and Onion: Freshly minced garlic and onion will provide the most flavor to your mashed potatoes. If using dried garlic or onion powder, adjust the amount to taste.
Butter and Milk Enhance Creaminess: Unsalted butter and whole milk are the classic additions to mashed potatoes for a rich and creamy texture. Use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your mashed potatoes well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or nutmeg for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Garlic and onion mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can elevate any meal. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful, and satisfying dish that everyone will love. Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to find your perfect combination, and enjoy this classic comfort food with your favorite main courses.
