Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

For the Garlic Lovers

Potato side dishes are our FAVORITE! For as long as we can remember, we’ve enjoyed potatoes as a side for almost every Sunday dinner and holiday. And our favorite of all? Mashed Potatoes! With that in mind, we wanted to create a more flavorful and garlicky version still as delicious as our classic Mashed Potatoes recipe. Today’s recipe has not only a LOT of garlic, but we use red potatoes for the base. The result is a very creamy, delicious and garlicky side that is a perfect stand-alone side (no gravy needed). This recipe will be the perfect addition with your Glazed Ham, Roast Turkey, or any meal!

Ingredients

PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes

8 medium red potatoes, quartered – No need to peel red skin potatoes, just make sure to scrub the skins clean. 2 teaspoons minced garlic 4 tablespoons butter ¾ – 1 cup half and half, warmed – Whole milk and 2% are not quite as creamy as half and half but can be used in a pinch. To get the desired consistency, don’t add the dairy all at once. Allow the potatoes to soak up some of the liquid before adding more. As an alternative, mix ¾ cup milk and ¼ cup heavy cream. 1 – 2 teaspoons garlic salt (with parsley flakes) ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded fresh parsley, (optional) optional toppings – chopped chives/green onions, parsley, Mashed Potato Gravy, Chicken Gravy, Bacon in the Oven, sautéed mushrooms, a dash of smoked paprika, sprinkle with cheddar cheese
