How To Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Recipe: from scratch: Easy: How to Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Make creamy garlic mashed potatoes: Simple to make with red skin potatoes. Di’s Recipes & Videos @ http://www.DishinWithDi.com I make mine with milk that I heat in the microwave, so the mashed potatoes stay hot. Without milk, they won’t be creamy, but you can use low fat or skim milk for this recipe. Garlic mashed red potatoes are my favorites, but I do make regular mashers with russet potatoes as well! Using the mixer helps to get them light and fluffy. You can mash them by hand and they should come out without lumps, as long as they are fully cooked. I hate lumps in mashed potatoes! They are perfect with gravy too! I have a Mushroom Gravy or you could call it Mushroom Sauce, that is over the top! I had it with these potatoes and a pan seared Filet Mignon that I cooked along with some Roasted Asparagus and it was heaven! You wouldn’t believe how simple and easy it was to make everything! Oh, I almost forgot about the Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons! A Really great idea for Valentine’s Day Dinner or any special occasion (Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc) You should give them a try!

hi I’m Diane Keda and today on dishing with dye I’m going to show you how to make garlic mashed potatoes really creamy and delicious let me show you what you need and we’ll get started today on dishing with [Music] dye you need some whole milk some regular butter some finely minced garlic some salt and white pepper and some red potatoes you want to try to cut all of your potatoes about the same size and there’s something else that I like to do to my potatoes um little holes in them here if there’s some imperfections like this in the potatoes sometimes they get like um you know little hard spots in there and I guess they call them eyes when they start growing most potato peelers have a little Scoopy thing on the end like that and this is what it’s for you just go in there and you twirl it around a little bit like that and you see just get that guy out of there so you don’t want that because we are going to be using uh these potatoes with the skins on and red potatoes are great for that so you just go around and if there’s any uh rough spots or anything that doesn’t look so good you want to just take that off okay so the important thing is to try and get potatoes that are um the nicest looking as possible so you don’t have to you know do too much of that now to cut them just take the potato and cut it in half all right and then what I like to do is go down the center and then just cut it in half again so if you buy potatoes that are basically about the same size you’ll be able to do that with all the potatoes so just give it a cut now this one u a little bit bigger maybe I would cut it like this okay and now I’m just going to take these potatoes and get over to the stove and get everything started I have a pot with some water in it Heating and it’s actually coming to a boil right now and it has about an inch of water in it so I’m going to add some salt and the rule of thumb is basically about a half a teaspoon of salt per cup of water so when it comes to a boil you want to add the salt in and then add in your potatoes carefully now I’m going to cover this and let this come up to a boil when it comes to a boil I’m going to reduce the Heat and let this cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender the potatoes are done they cooked for about 20 minutes and now they’re fork tender so pretty soft and I’ve taken the milk and I heated that in the microwave until it’s hot so it’s a little steamy so in my stand mixer I’m going to do the job on these potatoes you could use a um potato masher if you want or you can use a hand mixer to do this if you want to but I like my stand mixer the best I’m going to mix these up a little bit to break them up and they’re soft so they’re going to break up very easy okay that looks about right now I’m going to take the minced garlic and I’m going to put that in here and this is very finely minced you don’t want anyone uh biting into a big piece of garlic and their mashed potatoes so that goes in and then we’re going to mix it around and we’re going to drizzle in this warm milk now this is a matter of personal preference in my opinion so I have kind of uh a standard amount that I use but you can adjust that according to what you like just going to mix all this in and what you’re looking for is the potatoes to get like nice and Fluffy from the milk so we just want to make sure everybody body including this guy it’s good already gets all mashed up I’d say that looks about perfect for me and now the same goes with the butter I have a certain amount of butter that I use because I’ve made this over and over again and this is going to be a matter of personal preference but make sure your butter is soft see it’s not fresh out of the refrigerator you want it nice and soft you don’t want anything uh cooling the potatoes down and if you were doing this for the first time or you’re not sure just gradually add in you know the milk and the butter and taste it and see how it tastes so I’m going to add that in and get that going once that gets a little mixed through just going to add my salt and pepper and again personal preference just going to whip this up right there they are and they’re nice and whipped up and creamy look at that and the Skins they give it a lot of color get that all into your serving Bowl obviously I have to taste these bad boys so really creamy perfect amount of garlic and no lumps when I was a kid my mom made mashed potatoes all the time and they always had lumps them sorry Mom I didn’t like them I like my own though want to tell you real quick what I do when I make mashed potatoes for dinner I always make them first and I’ll take them in the bowl like this after you know they’re all mixed up and everything and I put them in the microwave I just leave them sitting there and then when it’s time for you know the meal to be served when everything else is ready I pop the microwave on for a minute I give it a star another minute I just do that for a few minutes until they get nice and hot and then I just take them right out there so that’s just a helpful hint for you the recipe as usual is on my website dishing with die.com and I hope I made your life a little easier more enjoyable and delicious I’ll see you next time [Music] bye-bye
