SILKY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Without a doubt, mashed potatoes are a quintessential side dish at just about every holiday-especially Thanksgiving. You can bet a hearty scoop of these garlic mashed potatoes will perfectly complement all that turkey and gravy. Butter and milk make these spuds extra smooth and silky, but the garlic is the real star of the show in the recipe. Instead of chopping up the garlic, this recipe calls for six peeled cloves (talk about easy) that go in right into the boiling water with the potatoes. The garlic will become tender and soft as it cooks making it super easy to seamlessly mash into your taters. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors and you've got yourself a creamy, buttery and extra garlicky bowl of mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • For the smoothest mashed potatoes, use a ricer or food mill to remove any lumps.
  • Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, as they have a high starch content that makes them creamy and fluffy.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes, as this will make them gummy.
  • Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken or vegetable broth, to add extra flavor to the mashed potatoes.
  • Add butter, milk, or cream to the mashed potatoes for a richer flavor and texture.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.

Conclusion:

Silky garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are perfect for special occasions or everyday meals.
