Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this deliciousness:
- 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold work well)
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of milk (or cream for that extra richness)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives or parsley for garnish (optional, but adds a nice touch)
Instructions
Now let’s get cooking! Follow these steps and you’ll have some bomb garlic mashed potatoes in no time:
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into chunks. This will help them cook faster.
- Place the potato chunks in a pot and cover them with cold water. Add a sprinkle of salt to the water for flavor.
- Bring that pot to a boil and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Don’t let it burn! You want it nice and golden.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour in the milk and add the garlic butter. Now, it’s time to mash! You can use a potato masher or a hand mixer if you like them super smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Mix it all together until it’s creamy and delightful.
- Serve hot, garnished with chives or parsley if you want to be fancy!
And there you have it! Serve these heavenly garlic mashed potatoes at your next dinner gathering, and watch your family and friends rave about them. Enjoy your meal, and keep on cookin’ up the good stuff!
