Garlic Mashed Potatoes Secret Recipes

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the garlic and oil to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned. Turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic will continue to cook in the oil.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. With a slotted spoon, remove the potatoes from the water, reserving the cooking water, and remove the garlic from the oil, reserving the oil.
• Process the potatoes and garlic through a food mill fitted with the medium disk. Add the reserved olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, cream, and 3/4 cup of the cooking water to the potatoes and mix with a wooden spoon. Add more cooking water, if necessary, until the potatoes are creamy but still firm. Season, to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and quarter lengthwise; cut crosswise 1/2 inch thick. In a 5-quart saucepan, combine potatoes and garlic cloves; cover with water (about 8 cups) by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt.
• Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Drain; return garlic and potatoes to pan. Stir over medium-high heat until dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a small saucepan, bring milk to a boil; pour over potatoes. Add butter and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.

SIMPLE GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes and garlic into a large saucepan full of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and boil for about 10-12 minutes. Check potatoes for doneness by poking a few wedges with a fork or skewer--if still firm, cook another minute or two and check again. Repeat until tender. Drain, taking care not to lose garlic cloves. Return potatoes to warm pot.
• Mash potatoes. Do not overwork, or potatoes will be tough (it's okay if there's a few lumps--it just means these are real potatoes, not from a box). Make sure to smash up the garlic, or pull out the cloves and squeeze in a garlic press.
• Add some butter, to taste (I usually use 2-3 T), and salt and pepper, also to taste. Mix until butter has melted.
• Add a little hot milk and beat it into the potatoes. Continue until potatoes are desired creaminess (the amount I use varies, but I usually use between 1/4 and 1/2 cup, give or take a bit).
• Cover pot with foil to keep warm until ready to serve. Potatoes will stay hot for 10-15 minutes this way.
• Serve with a pat of butter in an indentation on top.

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Slice the top third off the head of garlic. Place on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves and some kosher salt and pepper, then place the top back on the garlic. Wrap in the foil and roast until the garlic is brown and very soft, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cover the potatoes with cold water in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to the water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 15 minutes. Simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, another 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the hot chicken broth. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skin into a small bowl, drizzling in any olive oil from the foil. Mash the garlic smooth with a fork. Add the garlic to the potatoes and mash until smooth using an immersion blender fitted with the whisk attachment. Add more broth as needed. Once smooth, add three-quarters of the chives and some sea salt and black pepper, then mix through.
• Tip into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining chives.
