Garlic Mashed Potatoes

on


Ingredients:

5 medium-size potatoes, peeled, cut into eighths
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup warm milk
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon roasted garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Place potatoes in 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat (7-9 minutes). Reduce heat to medium. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender (15-18 minutes). Drain.

Place potatoes in a large mixer bowl. Add milk, butter, and garlic. Beat at medium speed until smooth (2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

Yield: 6 servings

Tip:
To roast garlic; Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch from top of garlic bulb to expose cloves. Remove most of the outer skin from bulb, leaving bulb intact and cloves unpeeled. Place bulb, cut-side up, on 8-inch piece aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until softened. Cool slightly. Separate the cloves and press cloves slightly to squeeze out softened garlic. Use roasted garlic in recipes or spread on French bread.
