Garlic Smashed Potatoes





Ingredients:
6 Medium Size Russet Potatoes
3/4 Cup Whole Milk
3 Tablespoons Butter
2-3 Garlic Cloves
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions:
Wash your potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Fill a large pot with water and add potatoes and bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender or until a fork can easily go through a piece and come out. While potatoes are cooking and close to being done, cut your garlic cloves in half lengthwise and add them to a small sauce pan along with your milk, butter, and salt & pepper. Heat until the mixture just starts to become frothy. Spoon out your garlic and discard. By this point your potatoes should be done, so drain them and then return them to the pot and pour your milk mixture over them and with a potato masher, mash them until they are the consistency that you prefer. Serve.

  1. I had no idea that was the difference. we always leave the skins on because we're lazy. But I say it's because the skins have the nutrients :)
