One of my favourite mashes, and worth the extra effort of preparing the garlic cloves first. Ingredients:
2 -3 heads garlic, seperated into cloves (depending on your love of garlic) |
60 g butter |
1 1/4 kg potatoes, peeled and cut up |
salt and pepper |
125 ml whipping cream |
3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Bring some water to the boil and drop in the garlic.
2. Boil for 2 minutes, drain and peel.
3. Melt half the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and add the garlic.
4. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan often.
5. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender-15-20 minutes.
6. Drain well.
7. Mash the potatoes, and return them to the pan with the remaining butter, salt and pepper.
8. Mash the cooked garlic with a fork, and stir in the cream, heat this mixture, then beat it into the potato mix.
9. Fold through most of the chives-reserving a few for garnish-and serve.
