Notes

Putting Alton Brown’s Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes recipe down to modify and work on it. The amounts have been reduced from the original recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 lb of potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons of salt for water, and extra for flavoring
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 3 Oz of cheese

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
  2. Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.
