Side DishComfort FoodVegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

1

Peel and cut potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water to cover the potatoes by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

2

Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.

5

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted garlic butter and warm milk, adding a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

6

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.

7

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
