Yukon Gold Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into pieces (the smaller they are, the faster they will cook).
• Place potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan.
• Bring to a boil.
• Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Drain, but do not discard garlic.
• Add remaining ingredients, and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Add additional milk if necessary.
• If desired, season with additional salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into a ½-inch dice. To prevent potatoes from wobbling as you dice, cut a flat base for the potato to rest on as you make your slices. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place potatoes in a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to low and let the potatoes release additional moisture, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot.
• With the pot over low heat, gently fold in butter and sour cream, mixing just enough to melt and incorporate; overmixing will result in a gluey texture. Add the milk a splash at a time, gently mixing to incorporate; repeat until you reach your desired consistency. (You may have milk left over.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; garnish with extra butter and/or freshly chopped chives, optional. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Set oven to 425ºF.
• Prepare a large roasting pan.
• In the roasting pan cook the bacon in the oven until crisp (this should take about 10 minutes) remove from the roaster and crumble, then set aside to a plate to cool slightly (DO NOT drain the bacon fat, leave in the roaster).
• Place the potato wedges skin-side down in the roasting pan; toss to coat in the bacon fat (you can also add in some oil if it seems too dry).
• Add in onion wedges (the onion wedges will separate).
• Sprinkle the peeled garlic cloves in the pan around the potatoes and onions.
• Sprinkle the veggies with rubbed thyme, salt and pepper.
• Roast uncovered for about 40-45 minutes, or until the potato wedges are fork-tender and browned.
• Before serving sprinkle with crumbled bacon and season with more salt and pepper if desired).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the gold potatoes on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for 45 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until crisp and lightly browned; do not let the garlic get too brown or it will be bitter.
• Pour the garlic and oil over the potatoes, add the parsley and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan. Cover with 1 to 2 inches cold water and season generously with salt; the water should taste like the sea. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and garlic well and pass through a food mill or ricer. DO NOT use a food processor or blender; it will result in a very sticky and rubbery end product.
• While passing the potatoes, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan and remove from the heat.
• While the potatoes are still hot, add one-third of the cream and the butter and stir vigorously into the potatoes. Repeat this process with the remaining cream until you achieve a velvety and smooth consistency. Taste the potatoes for seasoning and add salt if needed. Serve immediately or cover with foil and keep warm in an oven on low heat.

Steps:

• 1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
• 2. Wash potatoes and halve. Add to boiling water and cook until very tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, return to the pot and shake over low heat for 10 seconds to dry out. When cool, remove and discard the skins.
• 3. Mash potatoes in a bowl. Warm the milk with the butter and grated garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Mix into the potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in milk and return potatoes to the pot. Add feta cheese and remaining butter.
• Mash potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• You first need to make the roasted garlic; four heads are enough for this recipe, but I suggest you do more, as the roasted garlic keeps in the fridge for at least a week, or it can be frozen (squeeze the garlic buds out of the skins first) and then you can just break off what you need.
• To prepare roasted garlic, preheat oven to 375F.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the top third or so of each garlic bulb, exposing the cloves; remove all the papery white skin that you can, but leave the bulb intact.
• Place cut garlic heads on a piece of foil that is big enough to just come up around the heads and cover them.
• Drizzle about 1 tsp of olive oil over the exposed top of each head.
• Bring foil up around the heads to seal, then place this foil package on a pie plate and slide into preheated oven for about 40 to 50 minutes; when done, garlic will be very soft.
• As soon as it is cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic into a small bowl and set aside; if you are ambitious, keep the roasted skins that are left behind and use them in a stock.
• You can't get around it, your fingers are going to get garlicky and sticky--but it really is a fun task!
• Now, to make the potatoes (and all you're really doing now is making mashed potatoes, likely the way you always do): put chopped potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water, lightly salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
• When potatoes are cooked through (test with the point of a sharp knife or a fork), about 20 minutes after the potatoes boil (depending on how big you cut your chunks), drain well and then return to pot; with heat on high, shake potatoes around in pot for about 20 to 30 seconds to dry them out a bit; then remove pot from burner.
• Using a potato masher, mash potatoes, adding soft butter and the roasted garlic.
• When all chunks have been mashed, add half of the warm milk (or cream, if you wish) and keep mashing; add more milk if needed until potatoes are the consistency you want.
• Try the potatoes; add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender but not completely falling apart, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Add cream cheese, sour cream, and butter; mash with a potato masher until potatoes are mashed and everything is incorporated. Add Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup milk, garlic paste, garlic salt, salt, and pepper; mix with a large wooden spoon until combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Stir in chives and add more milk if you want a creamier consistency.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Return to pot. Mix in cheese and butter. Mash until smooth. Add half and half, basil and garlic and stir over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
