Creamy Holiday Mashed Potatoes
This mashed potato recipe certainly isn’t low fat. In our house
it’s reserved for holidays only!
Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
¼ cup cream
¼ cup real butter
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup milk
3 peeled cloves of garlic (optional)
Chopped fresh chives of parsley (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water, adding a little salt
and the peeled whole garlic cloves if using. Bring to the boil and cook over
medium or high heat for approximately 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain,
discard garlic and return to pan.
Add the milk and beat potatoes with electric mixer or a potato masher until
creamy. Gradually add a little of each of the ingredients and keep mixing.
Depending on your preference you may want to add a little extra or less sour
cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally add the chopped chives or
parsley if using and stir well. Serve immediately.
Note: For roasted garlic potatoes use the same recipe as above but do not add
garlic cloves to potatoes while boiling. Instead crush the garlic cloves and
sauté for about 1 minute over very low heat in a little olive oil. Add mixture
to potatoes once cooked and mix with all other ingredients.
