Garlic Mashed Potatoes
From The Real Food Daily Cookbook by Ann Gentry
25 minutes prep time | Serves 6;
What you need:
- 3 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1-1/4 c low-fat milk or plain soymilk
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
What you do:
- Combine the potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and boil over medium-low heat for 18 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain, then return the potatoes and garlic to the saucepan. Mash until smooth.
- Mix in the milk or soymilk, olive oil, salt, and white pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Transfer to a bowl and serve.
Note: The mashed potatoes will keep for a few hours. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat before serving.
Another trick: Use only 2/3 to 3/4 of liquid called for initially, then add the remainder when you reheat.
