Time 1h23m

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes (2 pounds)
1 garlic bulb
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Cut 1/4-inch slices from top of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Carefully remove most of the paperlike skin, leaving bulb intact and cloves unpeeled. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil. Bake potatoes and garlic about 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
  • Heat oil and oregano over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until oregano is fragrant; remove from heat.
  • Open garlic packet to cool. Cut potatoes in half; carefully spoon potatoes into large bowl. Save skins for another use or discard. Separate garlic cloves and press the cloves slightly to squeeze garlic out into potatoes; discard skin. Add oil mixture and salt to potatoes.
  • Mash potatoes until no lumps remain. Beat in milk in small amounts (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes). Beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy. Stir in chives.

I followed the recipe exactly and my potatoes turned out soggy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These potatoes were a bit too garlicky for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably try making them again with less garlic next time.

I love this recipe! The potatoes are always so fluffy and flavorful. I've also tried it with different herbs and spices, and it always turns out great.

These potatoes are amazing! The garlic flavor is perfect and the potatoes are so crispy. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I made these potatoes for a weeknight meal and they were a total lifesaver. They were quick and easy to make, and the whole family loved them. The leftovers were even better the next day.

These garlic smashed potatoes were a hit at my last dinner party! They were so easy to make and everyone loved the crispy, garlicky flavor. I'll definitely be making them again.
