Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes
Ingredients
- 7-8 red potatoes cubed
- 7-8 garlic cloves minced
- 5 tbsp salted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Soak red potatoes for about 5 minutes in a bowl of water. After soaking, cut potatoes into cube form.
- 2. Fill a pot with water & add in the cubed potatoes. Heat the pot to the highest setting bringing potatoes to a boil.
- 3. Let it boil for about 7-10 minutes. While its boiling, check the texture of potatoes with a fork. If you can cut through the potatoes like butter, then the potatoes are ready. Turn off the burner & use a strainer to dump the water out of the pot. Leave potatoes in the pot & bring it back to the stove.
- 4. Add in the butter, milk, & fresh thyme. You can use a potato masher or a hand mixer to blend the potatoes. I personally use a hand mixer because I feel it truly brings out the fluffiness of the potatoes.
- 5. Once all mixed & blended well, add salt & pepper to taste depending on your preference.
- 6. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: If you want the potatoes softer, you could always add more milk to do that!
