Creamy Mashed Potatoes Serves 6
Ingredients: 6 medium potatoes, peeled, and cut
into uniformed chunks. 1/4 cup cream 1/4
cup butter 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup whole milk,
scalded 3 cloves of garlic, minced (optional) Chopped
fresh chives or parsley (optional) Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes in large saucepan and cover with water, add a little
salt and peeled whole garlic cloves if using. Bring to a boil and
cook over medium or high heat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until
tender. Drain, discard garlic and return to pan.
Add the milk and beat potatoes with electric mixer until creamy.
Gradually add a little of each of the ingredients and keep mixing.
Depending on your preference you may want to add a little extra or less
sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally add
the chopped chives or parsley if using and stir well. Serve
immediately.
Note: For roasted garlic mashed potatoes use the
same recipe as above but do not add garlic cloves to potatoes while
boiling. Instead crush the garlic cloves and saute over very low
heat in a little olive oil for a minute or two. Add mixture to
potatoes once cooked and mix with all other
ingredients. |
