Velvety Garlic Mashed Potato Recipes

• Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling in Dutch oven. Add potatoes. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry.
• Mash potatoes in large bowl until no lumps remain. Beat in milk in small amounts, beating after each addition (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used). Add cream cheese, butter, salt and pepper. Beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil; add potatoes, and boil until soft, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and place in a large bowl.

• Chop garlic and return to saucepan. Add cream and warm over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Return potatoes to saucepan and cook, over medium heat, mashing with a heavy whisk, about 1 minute. Add garlic-cream mixture and continue mashing until smooth. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and white pepper; mix well. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Warm the cream with the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts; set aside.
• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to boil then add 1 teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. Drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill or a ricer into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the warm cream and butter mixture until the cream is absorbed and the mixture is smooth. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and finish them off by stirring in 1/4 cup olive oil. Top with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Take a piece of aluminum foil and scrunch it into a "snake." Wrap this around the side of the garlic head.
• Brush the top of the garlic head with the oil, roast in oven until top of cloves are golden brown and the cloves look to have separated from the side walls of the head, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, wash and Peel the potatoes. Split in half, then cut half into four similarly sized pieces.
• Place potatoes in a large, deep pot. Add enough water to come one inch over the potatoes. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Keep and eye on the pot, so as to prevent boil-overs.
• Boil until a paring knife can easily stab through a potato piece. When appropriate doneness is reached, drain and pour into the workbowl of a stand mixer (or keep in the pot and use a hand mixer.)
• Whip the potatoes alone on high speed until thy are all broken down. Add the butter, continue to whip for 1-2 more minutes. It is important that the butter be added first - this will help to keep the starches in the potato from becoming gummy or gluey.
• Slowly add the Buttermilk while the mixer is going. Slowly add the half-and-half, stopping periodically to see if he potatoes actually need the extra moisture. They may need more or less than perscribed, it is really a matter of personal preference.
