Side Dish
Creamy garlic mashed potatoes made with butter, milk, and garlic. A perfect holiday or Sunday dinner side dish—easy, comforting, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 kg floury potatoes (like Maris Piper), peeled and cut into chunks
- 100 ml whole milk
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or finely grated
- 50 g butter, cut into small pieces
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well and return to the pot to steam-dry for 5 minutes.
- In a small pan (or microwave-safe bowl), gently heat the milk, garlic, and butter over low heat until the butter melts.
- Mash potatoes with a masher for a rustic texture, or use a potato ricer for a smooth, lump-free mash.
- Pour the warm milk, garlic, and butter mixture into the hot potatoes. Stir until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
