Description
Rich and creamy mashed potatoes infused with garlic flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (or Russet potatoes)
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup salted butter
- 8 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and scrub 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, then chop them into small chunks.
- Add the 3 lbs chopped Yukon gold potatoes (or russet potatoes) to a large pot and cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil and reduce to let simmer until the potatoes are very soft when poked with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, add ½ cup whole milk, ½ cup salted butter, 8 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper to a saucepan over low heat. Gently cook, allowing the garlic to infuse the flavor of the milk, but not boiling the milk. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked and very soft, drain the water from the pot, leaving the potatoes.
- Pour in the garlic milk mixture to the pot, and mix everything together just until combined using a hand masher or electric mixer. You can leave a few small chunks while blending to add texture if you’d like!
Notes
- This is my personal favorite way to make mashed potatoes.
