These garlic mashed potatoes are rich and very tasty! For a creamier texture, use heavy cream in place of the milk. These are also terrific topped with green onions.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

potatoes,

milk

butter

garlic,

salt

white pepper

sesame seeds

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.


Combine potatoes with milk, butter, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix with an electric mixer or potato masher to your desired consistency. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.


For richer potatos, increase butter to 1/2 cup, use half 'n half instead of milk, or use milk, but add 1/4 cup of sour cream.  ALWAYS melt & mix butter in potatoes first, as this will coat them, and prevent the release of starches that makes mashed potatos goopy sometimes.

My clan ate these up without 1 single complaint (RARE).  I boiled the garlic cloves (3) in the potato water and then just mashed them up (with the hand mixer) along with all of the other ingredients.  I did add more milk (skim), butter & white pepper.  Thanks Lorna!

Yum!  I took someone's advice and boiled the cloves whole with the potatoes.  It made them nice and soft so that I could just beat everything with the electric mixer at the same time.  I also added a little bit of garlic salt as I was mixing and I omitted the sesame seeds.

Rich & creamy, my family loved these potatoes! I added sour cream and left out the sesame seeds. I also used minced garlic in a jar and it came out terrific! This is a keeper in our home. Thanks.

I made these potatoes even creamier by substituting fat-free sour cream for the milk. They were heavenly.

Use an electric mixer for best consistency.

I love mashed potatoes and I usually make my own version that's very similar to this one. I replace the garlic with garlic oil that my hubby makes (chop up lots of garlic and fry it in veggie oil till golden). We put this in a lot of our asian dishes but it tastes especially good in mashed potatoes. I don't use the sesame seeds. Thanks Lorna.

Delicious! Used half and half margarine and boiled potatoes with 4 cloves cut up garlic then mashed it all together! YUM!

Very good and very easy. I used half of the butter that the recipe called for and substituted fat-free sour cream for the other half. I will definetly make these again!!
