Mashed Potatoes w/ Potato Ricer

[carlfense]

Garlicky Mashed Potatoes

Yield: 8 to 12 servings

Time: About 1 hour, partially unattended

4 pounds Yukon Gold or other all-purpose potatoes

3 small heads of garlic, separated into cloves (but not peeled)

Salt

2 cups whole milk

10 tablespoons (1¼ sticks) butter

Black pepper

 

1. Put the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large pot with a few pinches of salt and add enough water to cover the potatoes by about 2 inches. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fully tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

2. Return the now-empty pot to the heat for a few seconds to dry it out, then reduce the heat to low. Put the milk and butter in the pot and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the butter melts, about 5 minutes.

3. Put the potatoes and garlic through a potato ricer into the pot. Stir gently to combine with the milk mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve hot.

Requires a potato ricer . . . but totally worth it.

Use milk- if you prefer..but..whipping cream makes better mashed potatoes than using regular milk..thx for the recipe:) It is just a suggestion. Happy Thanksgiving
