Directions
Simple Garlic Mashed Potatoes, This is a fairly quick and simple version of garlic mashed potatoes. It goes well with just about any kind of meat or poultry, as well as many other meals. If you want to make this vegan or fleishig, reserve some of the cooking liquid to use in place of milk, and replace the butter with margarine., Awesome recipe! I’ve been making mashed potatoes like this for many years, and have one little suggestion. After draining the potatoes and returning them to the warm pan, let them rest to allow any extra moisture to steam off. Allowing them to dry out a bit first, makes for fluffier mashed potatoes later ;
