The World's Best Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe image

Get ready! This is the best garlic mashed potatoes recipe you'll find on the internet. I dare you to prove me wrong, with these rich, fluffy spuds.

Provided by Stephanie Stiavetti

Categories     Side

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole head garlic
3 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Peel away just the outer layers garlic skin. Cut between 1/4 and 1/2-inch off the top of the whole bulb, exposing the open tops of the individual cloves of garlic.
  • Place the whole garlic bulb in a small baking dish and dribble with a few drops of olive oil, making sure the entire top is thinly coated. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. The cloves of garlic should be soft. Allow to cool completely before squeezing out the garlic into a small bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes and boil them for 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash them with buttermilk, butter, salt, pepper, and the roasted garlic.
  • If you really want to get all spiffy-do, spread the mashed potatoes into a casserole pan, dot with butter and sprinkle with cheese and/or breadcrumbs. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes, or until you get a nice golden crown.

THE BEST MASHED POTATOES!



The BEST Mashed Potatoes! image

These homemade mashed potatoes are perfectly rich and creamy, full of great flavor, easy to make, and always a crowd fave. See notes above for tips and possible recipe variations. And also, feel free to halve this recipe if you would like to make a smaller batch.

Provided by Ali

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds potatoes (I use half Yukon Gold, half Russet potatoes)
2 large cloves garlic, minced
fine sea salt
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup whole milk
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
toppings: chopped fresh chives or green onions, freshly-cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Feel free to peel your potatoes or leave the skins on. Then cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about an inch or so thick, and transfer them to a large stockpot full of cold water.
  • Once all of your potatoes are cut, be sure that there is enough cold water in the pan so that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Stir the garlic and 1 tablespoon sea salt into the water. Then turn the heat to high and cook until the water comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain the boil) and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in easily with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water.
  • Meanwhile, as the potatoes are boiling, heat the butter, milk and an additional 2 teaspoons of sea salt together either in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter is just melted. (You want to avoid boiling the milk.) Set aside until ready to use.
  • After draining the water, immediately return the potatoes to the hot stockpot, place it back on the hot burner, and turn the heat down to low. Using two oven mitts, carefully hold the handles on the stockpot and shake it gently on the burner for about 1 minute to help cook off some of the remaining steam within the potatoes. Remove the stockpot entirely from the heat and set it on a flat, heatproof surface.
  • Using your preferred kind of potato masher (I recommend this one in general, or this one for extra-smooth), mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
  • Then pour half of the melted butter mixture over the potatoes, and fold it in with a wooden spoon or spatula until potatoes have soaked up the liquid. Repeat with the remaining butter, and then again with the cream cheese, folding in each addition in until just combined to avoid over-mixing. (Feel free to add in more warm milk to reach your desired consistency, if needed.)
  • One final time, taste the potatoes and season with extra salt if needed.
  • Then serve warm, garnished with any extra toppings that you might like, and enjoy!

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Garlic Mashed Potatoes image

Provided by A Family Feast

Categories     side dish

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ pound fresh garlic heads (we used two small heads that when weighed equaled 4 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 large russet potatoes (about 3 ½ to 4 pounds)
Water salted with two teaspoons of kosher salt
½ cup butter cut into small cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon white pepper
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the top off of each garlic head so that all of the cloves are partially cut and exposed.
  • Cut off a piece of foil large enough to wrap around the two cut heads. Place the two cut heads into the center of the foil and top with the tablespoon each of oil and butter.
  • Wrap tightly by folding in the four sides and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the garlic cloves are soft. When squeezed, the garlic will pop out of the skin.
  • Let cool long enough to handle then squeeze each clove into a quarter cup measure. Four ounces of raw garlic should equal ¼ cup of cooked garlic. Pour the squeezed cloves out onto a cutting board and use a fork to press and stir so you have a creamy paste.
  • While the garlic is cooking, peel each potato and place into a pot of water large enough to hold the potatoes and water to cover. Once all potatoes are peeled, take one out at a time onto your cutting board and cut into about 10 pieces, about the same size and add back to the water. Repeat for all of the potatoes.
  • Add two teaspoons of kosher salt to the potato water.
  • When the garlic has about five minutes left to cook, bring the potatoes to a boil and reduce to a medium simmer and cook until tender. Ours took less than 15 minutes. Test by poking with a fork.
  • Drain in a colander. Then pour back into the pot and cook over heat for about a minute to remove any excess water.
  • Add the ¼ cup of the garlic paste, butter, salt, pepper and cream and mash with a potato masher, leaving some chunks.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.

  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent the potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add milk, butter, and garlic: These ingredients will help to add flavor and richness to the mashed potatoes.
