Steps:
- Bring milk, oil, butter, and sage to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and set aside. Cover potatoes and garlic with 2 inches cold water in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 13 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and return to pot. Pour milk mixture through a fine sieve over potatoes; discard solids. Mash potato mixture with a potato masher to combine. Season with salt. Mashed potatoes can be made 3 days ahead and stored in refrigerator. Reheat in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, thinning with more milk if necessary.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. These varieties have a high starch content that breaks down and creates a smooth, velvety texture when mashed.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become gummy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: After cooking the potatoes, drain them thoroughly to remove excess water. This will help prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
- Use hot milk and butter: When mashing the potatoes, use hot milk and butter. This will help them melt and incorporate smoothly into the potatoes, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Season to taste: Don't forget to season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will bring out the flavor of the potatoes and make them more delicious.
- Fry the sage leaves until crispy: When frying the sage leaves, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will help them crisp up evenly. Remove them from the pan once they are golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be easily elevated with a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make the creamiest, most flavorful mashed potatoes that will be a hit at any gathering. The fried sage leaves add a unique and delicious touch that takes this dish to the next level. Whether you're serving them as a side dish or as the main course, these mashed potatoes with fried sage are sure to impress.
