Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Smooth and creamy mashed potatoes flavored with roasted garlic, butter and warm milk for a comforting side dish.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a classic comfort-food side dish made extra flavorful with soft roasted garlic, butter and warm milk. The potatoes are boiled until tender and mashed while still hot for the smoothest texture. They pair beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled dishes, curries and holiday meals. Warming the milk before adding it helps the potatoes stay fluffy, while avoiding excessive mixing prevents them from becoming gluey. Adjust the amount of milk depending on whether you prefer thick rustic mash or a softer, creamier consistency.
