Ingredients
- 1kg (2.2lb) - Yukon Gold Potatoes Or Any High Starch Potato, Peeled & Washed
- 5 - Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 3/4 Cup (180ml) - Full Fat Milk
- 175g (6oz) - Salted Butter, Cubed
- Seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Place the peeled whole potatoes into a large saucepan or pot and fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Place the saucepan or pot over high heat and bring to a boil and cook for 22-24 minutes or until soft but not completely falling apart.
- Once cooked, pour the potatoes through a colander (sieve) and allow them to drain.
- Place a small saucepan over low heat and pour in the milk. Allow the milk to slowly heat up, but don't allow it to come to a simmer.
- Whilst the potatoes are draining and the milk is slowly heating up, place a skillet over high heat, add in the butter and allow it to melt. Once melted, bring the butter to a boil and continuously stir the butter, just until it starts to foam.
- Add in the garlic and turn the heat down to medium. Continuously mix the garlic through the butter for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, just until both the butter and garlic is a deep golden brown colour with the garlic also being nice and crispy. Remove from the stovetop and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. We can also remove the milk from the stovetop at this stage.
- Mash the potatoes together using a potato ricer or masher, just until they're extremely smooth. See recipe notes for further details. Check seasoning levels and adjust accordingly.
- Pour the garlic butter (reserving some of the butter) into the potatoes through a sieve to catch the crispy garlic (we will use it later in the recipe) and pour in the milk. Mix well until smooth.
- To serve, place the mashed potatoes on a plate or in a bowl and drizzle over the reserved garlic butter and top it with the crispy garlic. Dig in.
