GARLIC YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES



Garlic Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, washed and quartered
4 cloves garlic
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, warm
1 stick cold butter, cut into 9 pats

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and garlic in a large sauce pan. Cover with 1 to 2 inches cold water and season generously with salt. The water should taste like the sea. TASTE IT! If the water is under seasoned at this point it will be hard to have a well seasoned end product. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic well and pass through a food-mill or ricer. DO NOT use a food processor or blender. It will result in a very sticky and rubbery end product.
  • While passing the potatoes, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Once the cream has come to a boil remove from the heat.
  • While the potatoes are still hot add 1/3 of the cream and butter and stir vigorously into the potatoes. Repeat this process 2 more times until all of the cream and butter has incorporated. Taste the potatoes for seasoning and add salt, if needed. Serve immediately or cover with foil and keep warm in an oven on low heat.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes - the Best You've Ever Had image

Make and share this Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes - the Best You've Ever Had recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mimi Bobeck

Categories     Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs potatoes
1 head garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup sour cream
4 tablespoons butter
milk or cream, if needed
salt
white pepper

Steps:

  • Separate head of garlic into individual cloves.
  • Toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in small piece of aluminum foil.
  • Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes.
  • When the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.
  • Mash the roasted garlic with a fork, or force through a fine strainer.
  • If you use a ricer as recommended below, simply rice the garlic along with the potatoes.
  • Peel and boil potatoes in salted water until tender.
  • Force the cooked potatoes through a ricer (recommended) or mash by your usual method.
  • Put the riced potatoes, garlic, sour cream, butter, and salt and white pepper in a mixer bowl, and whip at medium speed until smooth.
  • Add cream or milk to adjust consistency.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well and produce creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Peel the potatoes before boiling: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help them retain their flavor.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or food mill: This will produce the smoothest mashed potatoes.
  • Add butter, milk, and cream cheese to the mashed potatoes: This will make them rich and creamy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder: You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or nutmeg.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.
