GARLIC MASHED POTATOES



Here's a recipe for creamy, delicious garlic mashed potatoes. It's got to be one of my family's favorite things. You can have these with beef, chicken or just by themselves! I always make lots so we have some for leftovers the next day. Simply delicious!













Simple ingredients for a delicious experience!





In case your were thinking this was onion or something, it's not. Yes, that's garlic! I am using 8 potatoes, so I've diced about 9 cloves of garlic!





Melt the butter and add the garlic. Saute for 4-5 minutes.








It should look nice and golden brown. Mmmmmm....






Peel and dice the potatoes. Put in a pot of boiling water and cook until soft.






Drain the potatoes, do not rinse.





Put them in a mixer or other large bowl. Add all the ingredients.







Mix until everything is blended well. Don't overmix though or you'll have glue, not good.





These smell so good I want to just dive in and eat them right now.





Scoop them out into an oven safe dish and top with parmesan.





Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or until you can see the peaks getting nice and golden brown. Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy!
