Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Serves 6-8 adults (or hungry kids)
1 (5 LB) bag Russet potatoes, peeled & diced
1 cup milk
2-3 cloves garlic
1 stick butter
1 (8 oz) carton Sour Cream
Salt and pepper to taste (I like to use garlic salt also)
Put potatoes in a pot of cold water and put on the stove to boil. Boil for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
In a small saucepan put milk, garlic and butter. Heat over Medium Low heat until the milk is heated and the butter is melted. Take off of the heat. Let it sit while the potatoes are cooking. This will also soften the garlic.
When the potatoes are fork tender, drain them & put back into the hot pot. Pour milk mixture over the potatoes and mash. I like to use an electric hand mixer. If you like your potatoes more chunky, just use a hand masher. Stir in Sour Cream and salt and pepper.
If the potatoes are too dry you can add more milk. If they are too juicy just put back on the stove burner on low. Some of the milk will cook down. Stir often to keep the potatoes from sticking.
