Perfectly Imperfect Garlic Mashed Potatoes
My take on fancy steakhouses' mashed potatoes - perfect for the weeknight. No peeling required! Ingredients
- 4 small red potatoes (or 2 large)
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- Any fresh herbs for garnish (chives, parsley or scallions work great)
Directions
- a large saucepot, filled with water, on high until water boils.
- Wash and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Once water is boiling, place potatoes in water (Note: I always use a large spoon to drop potatoes in boiling water for safety!) and cook for ~ 10 minutes until fork tender.
- Drain water in colander and return potatoes to pot. Mash with a large fork or potato masher until large lumps are removed. Add milk, butter, cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. With a handheld electric mixer, beat until fully incorporated and âcreamyâ, i.e. youâll still notice some lumps but potatoes are mostly smooth.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with any fresh herbs of your choosing.
