Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

2.5 pounds russet potatoes ( peeled and diced, all the same size)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup salted butter
1 tablespoon garlic puree

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and fill until they are covered in water. Stir in the salt.
  • Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a lower heat until the potatoes are just simmering, a low rolling boil. Keeping it at this lower boil will help prevent them from boiling over.
  • Cook until the potatoes fall apart when pierced with a fork.
  • Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water in a colander. Let them sit there draining.
  • Heat the half-and-half, the butter and the garlic puree in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering slightly, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Mash the potatoes using a masher or a potato ricer until smooth.
  • Mix in the hot garlic mixture until combined through.
  • Serve while hot.

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.

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 are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes gluey.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or food mill: This will give you the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
  • Add warm milk, butter, and seasonings to taste: The warm milk and butter will help to make the mashed potatoes creamy and rich, while the seasonings will add flavor.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the best garlic mashed potatoes that will be a hit at your next gathering.
