GARLIC MASHED POTATOES (COOK'S COUNTRY METHOD)

Steps:

• Place cut potatoes in colander. Rinse under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. This is a very important step to eliminate excess starch, which produces gluey mashed potatoes.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook garlic and sugar, stirring often, until sticky and straw colored, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rinsed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups half-and-half, water and 1 teaspoon salt to pot and stir to combine. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered and stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add remaining butter to pot and mash with potato masher until smooth. Using rubber spatula, fold in remaining half-and-half until liquid is absorbed and potatoes are creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top with garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Combine the water with 2 tablespoons salt in a large pot; bring to a boil
• Plunge lobster into boiling water, cover the pot, and return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the lobster becomes bright right, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the lobster from the water and set aside to cool.

• Chop the tail meat coarsely and reserve with the intact claw meat in a covered dish; keep warm in the preheated oven.
• Put about 1 inch of water in the bottom of a saucepan with 1 teaspoon salt; bring to boil.
• Add potatoes to the boiling water; top with intact lobster tail shell.

• Remove lobster shell and discard.
• Drain the water from the saucepan.
• Reduce the heat to low. Gently shake the pan over low heat to dry the potatoes.
• Add the butter to the potatoes and mash until no lumps remain.

LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cook potatoes until soft with preferred method. I personally used my Instant Pot using this Instant Pot Mashed potato recipe (I just stopped after I drained the water, as this recipe is different). I peel the potatoes and quarter them, cover with water (or you can just do two cups) and cook on manual high for 7 minutes.
• If you cook in a pot, bring the water to a boil, add potatoes, and then bring down to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until a fork goes through easily.
• Drain excess water. Set aside one potato in a bowl.
• Mix together the softened butter with the minced garlic.
• Add the heavy cream, butter, and sour cream to the potatoes and mix until pureed with a hand mixer. You may have to add more heavy cream to get them REALLY smooth.
• With the potato you set aside, mash coarsely.

WASABI MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove papery outer skin of garlic bulb. Rub with olive oil and place on a small baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until skin can be easily pierced with a fork.
• While garlic is roasting, peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow potatoes to simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain water and mash potatoes with butter until smooth and fluffy.
• Squeeze softened garlic cloves out of skin into pot; in a small bowl, mix wasabi powder with just enough water to form a thick paste. Mash garlic and wasabi paste into potatoes, pour in milk and continue to mash until mixture is light and fluffy; season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
