Garlic Mashed Potatoes



This recipe is a result of one of the few times that the Food Network has paid off with something simple and delicious! This side dish is loaded with flavor despite the minimal ingredients!



Here's what you'll need:

- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 to 1 cup heavy cream
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste

In a large pot, cover potatoes and garlic with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil, add salt and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.



Drain potatoes and garlic well. Put back in the pot and cook over low heat to evaporate the rest of the water. Mash in the butter. Add heavy cream in stages until desired consistency reached. If you are like my mom and think that "heavy cream" equals fat, feel free to substitute a lowfat milk.



Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve!
