To ensure the very best results, follow our expert tips for the perfect mashed potatoes. Begin by cooking the potatoes and garlic cloves in room-temperature water to achieve even cooking throughout. After draining, let the potatoes steam for a few minutes to release excess moisture, resulting in a thick and robust mash. Opt for a traditional potato masher to preserve the potatoes' texture, avoiding the gummy outcome that can result from electric mixers.

Elevate your Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes with a final touch of a pat of butter, chopped chives, and freshly cracked black pepper. Not only will this enhance the visual appeal, but it will also add an extra layer of flavor that your dinner guests will be sure to appreciate.

Ingredients

  • medium potatoes - remove skin red quartered
  •  garlic clove peeled
  • tablespoons butter 
  • 0.5 cup skim milk fat-free warmed
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.3 cup parmesan cheese grated

Equipment

  • food processor
  • sauce pan
  • pot
  • blender
  • potato masher

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender. Editor’s Tip: The potatoes will cook more evenly if they start in room-temperature water. If you drop them into already-boiling water, their outsides will cook before their centers, leaving you with a mushy mash.
  2. Drain the potatoes well. Editor’s Tip: Return the potatoes to the hot pot after draining, then wait five minutes before you add the remaining ingredients. This gives the potatoes time to steam and release excess moisture, ensuring the mash will be thick and robust instead of thin and watery.
  3. Add the butter, milk and salt. Mash together. Editor’s Tip: There are several ways to mash potatoes, but we recommend using a handheld potato masher for red potatoes. Avoid a blender or food processor, as electric-powered mixers can overmix the potatoes, making them gummy and gluey.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Editor’s Tip: To add visual appeal, top the mashed red potatoes with a pat of butter, chopped chives and/or freshly cracked black pepper.
