Mashed Potatoes
INGREDIENTS
- Servings: 3 cups
- Preparation Time: 25min
- 3 large potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, sliced in half
- 3/4 cup milk
DIRECTIONS
- Cut the potatoes into large chunks.
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Add the butter and garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue boiling for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes, reserving the boiling water for mashing.
- Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot on the stove. Add the milk to the potatoes and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the heat and discard the garlic.
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes in the pot, adding some of the boiling water if needed to loosen the texture.
- Pour the potato puree into storage containers or ice cube trays. Let cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months
