Would you like to prepare the best Garlic Mashed Potatoes that you enjoy at
your favorite restaurant, but have no idea where to start to achieve that
wonderful and delightful flavor?
There are a variety of ways to create the best garlic mashed potatoes that
you have ever tasted but when it comes down to which way is best is according to
your own taste buds.
When you take a look at garlic you will see that there are various kinds of
garlic that you can use for your mashed potatoes such as German red garlic,
Spanish Roja garlic, Leningrad garlic, and Yugoslavian. You can find all of
these garlic’s in a powder form or use fresh garlic. So, the first thing you
need to do is decide which garlic you would like to use. Personally, I like
using fresh minced garlic cloves.
There are two popular ways to prepare the best garlic mashed potatoes. With
this recipe you will use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. For the first
recipe you will need enough potatoes to feed your family or guests. The rule of
thumb is one medium potato per person. But, my family love potatoes, so I have
to use 2 per person. Now you will need milk or cream, butter or margarine, salt
and pepper and your garlic powder choice. You can either wash and peel your
potatoes or you may wash your potatoes and boil them with the skins on. Cut your
potatoes into chunks and boil until tender. Drain and pour into mixing bowl. Add
salt, pepper garlic powder and margarine and blend with your electric mixer
until the combined well. Now, add a bit of milk or cream and beat again until
smooth. Add more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
In this next recipe you will use fresh minced garlic cloves to prepare the
best garlic mashed potatoes. This is my favorite way. You will need all of the
same ingredients as above except for garlic powder. While your potatoes are
boiling, sauté the garlic cloves in a frying pan with the margarine. Let the
garlic simmer and blend in with the margarine. When your potatoes are ready to
mash and you are adding the ingredients, add the melted butter and sauté minced
garlic and blend with the potatoes.
Try both recipes and choose your favorite for the preparing the best garlic
mashed potatoes. Anita is author of Steaks, Seafood and Barbeque guide Steak-Guides.com. hansd@netresearch.nl |
