Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

These potatoes are almost like regular potatoes, except they have an awesome subtle garlic flavor, and they are cooked and mashed with the skin on, more like a “smashed potato”!

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks (keep the skin on)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup milk
¼ cup butter
½ teaspoon salt
Dash ground black pepper

Directions:

1.  Boil potatoes and garlic in a large pot for 20-25 minutes or until very tender; drain.  Return potatoes to pan.  Shake pan over low heat to slightly dry potatoes.

2.  Mash potatoes (they will not be completely smooth, because of the skin).  Add milk in small amounts, mashing well after each addition.  Add butter, salt and pepper.  Stir until butter is melted.

Makes 6 side dish servings
