Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

• 2 lb. potatoes, cut and peeled
• 1 garlic clove, de-skinned and minced
• 6 tbsp. butter
• 3/4 cup heavy cream or milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Fill a large pot half full with warm water and potatoes. # Cover pot with lid and bring to a boil.
2. Turn heat back slightly to prevent water from boiling over. Let potatoes boil until tender when poked with a fork.
3. Once potatoes are cooked, drain water from the pot, then return to stove.
4. Turn heat to medium and add butter. Leave on stove until butter has melted.
5. In a separate pot, bring cream or milk to boil. Be careful not to overheat the milk so as to avoid curdling. Remove immediately once milk begins to boil.
6. Using an electric mixer, mix the potatoes and milk. Add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste and continue to blend until potatoes are smooth and fluffy.
