An old basic that never disappoints, tonight I served these mashed potatoes with a roasted chicken. I love adding loads of pepper to this recipe but the peppery flavor isn't for everyone so definitely add the pepper to your taste!
Serves 2-4
4 large yukon potatoes, peeled and cut in half
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
2 - 4 tsp ground black pepper (to taste)
Boil the potatoes in a medium sauce pan with salted water until they feel very soft when pierced (~15 minutes). Drain the potatoes and using either a hand-held potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes. Add the butter, cream (or milk), garlic, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mash all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Sorry I didn't take a photo of this recipe...let's be honest, mashed potatoes are pretty boring to look at (but lovely in their own way :-))
