  • In an 8- to 10-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 1/2 quarts water to a boil.

  • Add potatoes and garlic to boiling water; cover and return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain and return to pan.
  • Heat cream until steaming in a small pot (but do not allow to boil); add butter and 1/2 cup cream to potatoes.
  • Beat with electric mixer on medium speed, or by hand with a heavy-duty whisk, just until smooth.
  • If mixture is stiffer than you like, beat in more cream until potatoes reach desired consistency.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
