Salt and white pepper

 

Preparation Method:

Garlic and Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Take a small saucepan of water and boil the water over high heat. Add the garlic cloves and boil for 2 minutes, then drain and peel.

Bring a heavy frying pan; melt half of the butter over low heat. Add the blanched garlic cloves then cover and cook gently for 20-25 minutes until finely tender and just golden. Keep shaking the pan and stirring occasionally. Do not allow the garlic to scorch or brown.

Remove the frying pan from the heat and cool slightly. Spoon the garlic and the butter from the pan into a food processor or a blender and process until smooth. Tip into a small bowl, press clear film on the surface to prevent a skin forming and set aside.

Peel and quarter the potatoes, place in a large saucepan and add enough water to just cover them. Add salt and bring to the boil over high heat.

Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain and work through a sieve or a food mill and bring back into the saucepan. Return the pan to medium heat and stir the potatoes for 1-2 minutes using a wooden spoon and dry them out completely.

Warm the milk over medium-high heat until form around the edge. Gradually beat the milk, remaining butter and mix the reserved garlic puree into the mashed potatoes. Add salt to taste, if needed and white pepper. Sprinkle the diced green dill or green onion.
