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.

Steps:
- Scrub potatoes. Leave skins on, if desired, or peel thinly and remove eyes. Leave whole or cut into large pieces.
- Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling; add potatoes and garlic. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook whole potatoes 30 to 35 minutes, potato pieces 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain. Shake pan gently over low heat to dry potatoes.
- Mash potatoes in medium bowl until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, beating after each addition. (Amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used.)
- Add butter, salt and pepper. Beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy. If desired, dot with butter or sprinkle with paprika, chopped fresh parsley, watercress or chives.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of mashed potatoes, but these were surprisingly good. The garlic flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the potatoes were creamy and smooth. I would definitely make these again.

[email protected]Meh. These mashed potatoes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I think I'll stick to my old mashed potato recipe.

[email protected]Good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used half and half instead of cream, and I added a bit of sour cream for extra richness. I also roasted the garlic for a longer time to get a deeper flavor. Overall, I was really happy with the results.

[email protected]These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They were bland and lacked flavor. I followed the recipe exactly, but the potatoes turned out dry and lumpy. I won't be making this recipe again.

[email protected]I've made mashed potatoes a hundred times, but this recipe is by far the best. The secret is in the silky smooth texture, which comes from blending the potatoes with cream and butter. I also love the addition of roasted garlic, which gives the potato
