Garlic Butter Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 kg Potatoes All-Rounder
- 5 Garlic Cloves Grated
- 180 ml Full Fat Milk
- 175 g Salted Butter Cubed
- Salt & Ground White Pepper To Taste
Method
- Place the peeled whole potatoes into a large saucepan or pot and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Place over high heat, 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 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 let it come to a simmer.
- While the potatoes are draining and the milk is slowly heating up, place a skillet over high heat, add the butter, and allow it to melt. Once melted, bring the butter to a boil and continuously stir just until it starts to foam.
- Add the garlic and turn the heat down to medium. Continuously mix the garlic through the butter for 1½ to 2 minutes, just until both the butter and garlic are a deep golden brown colour, with the garlic nice and crispy. Remove from the stovetop and allow to sit for 5 minutes. You can also remove the milk from the stovetop at this stage.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or masher, just until 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'll 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, topping it with the crispy garlic. Dig in.
