Roasted Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes

"I love garlic mashed potatoes, but usually the flavor is a little sharp and bitter, so I came up with this. Roasting the garlic first gives these potatoes all the wonderful garlic flavor, without the sharp or bitter bite. Almost sweet, smoky, and smooth."

directions

  • Boil potatoes with skins until fork tender.
  • Drain water and coarsely smash potatoes with potato masher. (until just slightly smashed).
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skin into the smashed potato.
  • Add milk, butter, salt and pepper. Stir with a spoon until combined. Serve hot with your favorite chicken, beef, or pork dish. No need for gravy with these potatoes! ;-).
  • *NOTE: You could always mash the potatoes, to your desired consistency. I prefer the slightly smashed texture for this recipe.*.

  1. I know God would love this...I just know it.
     
  2. I loved these smashed potatoes. I used Recipe #96412 for the garlic, as I had prepared a large batch of that last week and froze it in individual portions. My anti-mashed potato hubby even loves these. The chunky texture and the excellent flavor lure him in.
