Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashing, as they have a high starch content that makes them creamy when mashed.
- Roast the garlic: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. To roast garlic, simply wrap a whole head of garlic in foil and bake at 400°F for about 45 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
- Use low-fat milk or broth: To reduce the fat content of the mashed potatoes, use low-fat milk or broth instead of cream or butter. You can also use a combination of milk and broth.
- Add flavorings: To add flavor to the mashed potatoes, try adding herbs like parsley, rosemary, or thyme, or spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing the mashed potatoes will make them gluey. Mash them just until they are smooth and creamy.
Conclusion:
Roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. By following the tips above, you can make roasted garlic mashed potatoes that are lower in fat and calories, but still full of flavor.
