Recipe of the week 11/26/09

HOMEMADE - Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

This recipe is an special request from my sweet husband and his good friend Alfredo :)


Ingredients:

3 1/2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
2 cups half and half
6 cloves garlic crushed
2 tablespoons salt
6 ounces grated parmesan
3 tablespoons butter



Directions:

Peel and dice potatoes; place in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and then reduce the heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork. In another medium saucepan over medium heat melted the butter after a few minutes add the garlic until light brown then incorporate the half and half until simmering; remove from heat and set aside.


Remove potatoes from the heat and drain off water; mashed and add the garlic cream mixture, salt, parmesan and butter; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.
