Need another idea for your holiday menu that feeds ten people? Madrones is giving you a sneak peek into our kitchen, so you can make one of our most famous yuletide side dishes, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, for your dinner table.
Ingredients:
5 lb. red potatoes
3 oz. roasted garlic bulbs
1.5 cups heavy cream
1/2 lb. butter
1.5 tbsp. kosher salt
Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. (At Madrones, we roast our garlic on the grill, but you can easily roast it in your home’s oven.)
- Cut the top end of 7 garlic bulbs open, and line them up on a baking dish.
- Drizzle oil, salt, and pepper over the garlic.
- Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the garlic bulbs become brown and soft.
- Remove from oven, and allow it to cool.
- After the bulbs cool, squeeze the garlic out and into a small bowl. Set aside for later.
- In a large pot, boil enough water to cook five pounds of red potatoes.
- Put in potatoes, and wait until you can easily push a fork into the potato.
- Drain the potatoes, and put into a large mixing bowl.
- Add butter, salt, and garlic to the potatoes.
- Start the mixer on low, and slowly mix in the heavy cream.
- Turn the mixer to high, and mix until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. (At Madrones, we mash the potatoes several hours before in a Crock-Pot and reconstitute with butter and cream.)
