Garlic Lovers Mashed Potatoes













I make these mashed potatoes to top my Shepherds Pizzaiola Pie Recipe which is the following post on this blog. But you can serve them as a side dish as well. And if you are not a garlic lover then just omit or put less garlic. Most of my recipes are adjustable to taste but this one if left alone may also work as vampire repellent :) I forgot to take a picture of these when they were done so I quickly snapped a shot of my toddlers dinner plate before she ate them all up. She is only two years old and didn't mind all of that garlic!













Ingredients:

1 bag of potatoes peeled, washed and chopped up(roughly 9-10potatoes)
1 stick of salted butter
2 Tbs minced jarred garlic
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 tbs of salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
Peel, wash, and chop potatoes













Place in large soup pot and fill with water until potatoes are covered
Boil for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are soft
Drain in strainer and place them in a large mixing bowl
Add butter and mash with potato masher
Add garlic, chicken broth and milk and stir until mostly smooth
Add salt and pepper and Serve-makes 4 servings
