    Nothing says comfort food more than a savoury meat dish accompanied by mashed potatoes. I love this recipe for Perfect Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes! It starts off with roasting fresh garlic in the oven. Here's the link to How to Make Oven Roasted Garlic.

    Perfect Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    Great mashed potatoes start off with the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet work great because they have a higher starch content that produce a fluffy, smooth mashed potato. Another important aspect to making perfect mashed potatoes is cooking them properly. This starts off by cutting potatoes into equal chunks to ensure even doneness. Add cold water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until cooked. Potatoes are done when fork tender (poking a fork into the potatoes it has little resistance). Mashing the potatoes is the most important step! Under mixing causes lumpy potatoes, over mixing and you have gluey mashed potatoes. I start with a potato masher to mash down the potatoes with the garlic and butter. Then I switch to an electric hand mixer to add the cream. When using the hand mixer combine only until mixed and fluffy on low speed, remember over mixing will cause your potatoes to turn to glue! Not good, garbage, start over!

      This is a lovely recipe, the last one I read had so much butter added I couldn't stand the thought of making it. Yours I would love, esp with the addition of garlic. I, too, use a hand mixer and find it way easier than a potato ricer. I wish we still had Thanksgiving ahead of us.. this would be great with turkey gravy:)

        The garlic does add some great flavour, and if you really like garlic just add more. Thank you for the kind comments.

      […] To make this recipe easy to prepare, start by having all the ingredients pre-measured and ready to go. Slice the beef into strips, season with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Heat olive oil in the skillet and sear beef on both sides. Work in small batches, if you overcrowd the pan the meat will steam and you won't get a nice sear. Transfer to the slow cooker. In the same skillet add the butter, onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté until tender. Transfer to slow cooker. Deglaze the skillet with red wine. Add the beef broth, paprika, and both mustards. Pour the broth over the beef in the slow cooker. Combine and cook for 4 hours on low setting or 2 hours on high setting. If you find the broth is not thick enough, ladle out ½ cup of broth. Whisk the broth together with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir into the beef and cook on high for an additional 20 minutes or until sauce thickens. Before serving stir the sour cream into the beef stroganoff. Serve over egg noodles, broad noodles, polenta or, my recipe for Garlic Mashed Potatoes. […]
