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 ; )

Place Potatoes and Garlic Into a Large Saucepan Full of Cold Water. Bring to a Boil Over High Heat, Reduce Heat to Medium, and Boil For About 10-12 Minutes. Check Potatoes For Doneness by Poking a Few Wedges With a Fork or Skewer--If Still Firm, Cook Another Minute or Two and Check Again. Repeat Until Tender. Drain, Taking Care not to Lose Garlic Cloves. Return Potatoes to Warm Pot. |

Mash Potatoes. Do not Overwork, or Potatoes Will Be Tough (it's Okay If There's a Few Lumps--It Just Means These Are Real Potatoes, not from a Box). Make Sure to Smash Up the Garlic, or Pull Out the Cloves and Squeeze in a Garlic Press. |
