| 2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes | |
| 1 head roasted garlic smashed | |
| ½ cup milk or cream | |
| 4 tablespoons unsalted butter | |
| ¼ teaspoon paprika | |
| chives | |
| Salt and white pepper to taste |
Preparation
1
Peel the potatoes, leaving some skin on for a rustic texture. Cut them into even-sized cubes.
2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Add them to a pot and cover with cold water.
3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until fork-tender.
4
In a separate pan, melt the butter. Add the milk, smashed roasted garlic, salt, white pepper, and paprika. Warm over low heat, stirring gently to avoid curdling the milk.
5
Drain the boiled potatoes and keep them in the pot over low heat to evaporate any excess moisture.
6
Pour the warm milk mixture over the potatoes and mash to your desired consistency.
7
Stir in chopped chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Certainly! Storage Instructions:
Cooling: Allow the mashed potatoes to cool to room temperature.
Container: Transfer the cooled mashed potatoes to an airtight container.
Refrigeration: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: If you wish to freeze your mashed potatoes, place them in freezer-safe bags or containers, pushing out as much air as possible before sealing. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months for best quality.
Reheating Instructions:
From the Refrigerator: Place the mashed potatoes in a microwave-safe dish. Cover with a lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap. Heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. If they seem too thick, you can mix in a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess.
From the Freezer: For best results, thaw the mashed potatoes in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Once thawed, follow the above reheating instructions.
Stovetop Reheating: If you prefer to use a stovetop, transfer the mashed potatoes to a pot. Warm over low-medium heat, stirring frequently. Add a splash of milk or cream if necessary to restore the creamy texture.
