Creamy Mashed Potatoes

When making mashed potatoes, you must drain them completely. If they are still retaining water, after draining, put them back into the hot pan for a few seconds. Add milk a little at a time so you don’t make the potatoes to thin.

ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
6 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
until fork tender
2 1/3 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste

directions

1
Peel, boil and drain potatoes. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; add garlic, and saute until tender. Remove from saucepan, and set aside.
2
Put potatoes in a large bowl that you can use a hand mixer in. Add 2-1/3 cups milk to potatoes and mix well.
3
Stir in garlic mixture, salt and pepper. Let potatoes stand a few minutes before serving.
