MAKE AHEAD MASHED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CHIVES
This creation is a result of what I had on hand at the moment, and the need to get at least one dish out of the way before the main meal needed to be started. It was very well received, and I plan to make it again later this month for Thanksgiving. This time I had roasted garlic in a jar that I wanted to use up, but I prefer to roast my own, which is way easier than it sounds. I use my Recipe #412117 recipe when I make it homemade. Making the mashed potatoes ahead of time is a huge time-saver for holidays or other gatherings!

Tips:
- Always use fresh garlic for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have one of these tools, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are smooth.
- Add the milk and butter to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the liquid and create a creamy texture.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chives.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh chives or parsley before serving.
Conclusion:
