minutesGarlic mashed potatoes are a great variation of a mashed potato side dish. These garlic mashed potatoes are creamy and flavorful and taste gourmet. They make a great side dish for any meat or fish. They are so simple to make.
The ingredients you will need are:
Potatoes: the recipe calls for Yukon Gold but you can also use Russet if preferred.
Milk & Butter: important ingredients for delicious and creamy mashed potatoes.
Garlic: Five peeled cloves of garlic for this recipe. You can add or subtract cloves depending on your garlic preferences.
Seasonings: I recommend garlic salt and Lawry’s seasoning salt, in addition to the salt and pepper for extra flavor. Feel free to add and subtract seasonings depending on what you have on hand or prefer. Make sure to taste your potatoes before moving them to the serving dish to ensure they have the desired flavor.
Ingredients
2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and cut into 1″ slices
5 large Garlic Cloves, Peeled
1 tbsp Salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
Directions
- Combine potatoes, garlic cloves, and tbsp salt in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover potatoes by 1″. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 minutes.
- Drain potatoes using a colander and return to the hot saucepan. Stir potatoes and garlic cloves until dry, about 1 minute.
- Add 6 pieces of the butter, one at a time until melted.
- Using a potato masher, mask in milk until the potato and garlic mixture are smooth. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic salt, and Lawry’s seasoning salt.
- Transfer garlic mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with remaining butter and parsley (optional).
Notes
- Any leftovers keep well in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
