00:02garlic mashed potatoes.

00:04Check this out.

00:10Hey everybody, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com.

00:14Garlic mashed potatoes are definitely special enough

00:17for Thanksgiving dinner,

00:18but it's easy enough to make tonight.

00:21And I'm gonna show you how to make it.

00:22It's so simple, let's get started.

00:26You'll need four pounds of potatoes

00:29and by the way, by the way, wait a minute.

00:37So we're using Yukon Gold Potatoes.

00:40These are a waxier potato and they come out super creamy

00:44and they have just this natural buttery flavor to them.

00:47That's why they're my favorite for these garlic potatoes.

00:51First, rinse them, then peel.

00:54Peel the skins away from you going around the potato

00:57and making sure to remove any dark spots.

01:00There's two kinds of potato peelers,

01:02this standard type or a Y shape.

01:05I'll link to my favorite peeler in the notes,

01:07but I'd love to hear about which kind you use.

01:10Once the potatoes are peeled,

01:12you do wanna keep them in cold water.

01:14This'll keep the potatoes from browning

01:16and removes excess starch.

01:21Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters

01:23if the potatoes are very large.

01:26Once the potatoes are all chopped,

01:28you're gonna drain that water

01:29and transfer the potatoes to a pot.

01:34I prefer using a stainless steel pot

01:37for cooking mashed potatoes

01:38because I can cook and mash them all in the same pot.

01:41Add enough cold water to the pot to cover the potatoes.

01:49Bring that to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer

01:52and continue cooking for about 15 to 18 minutes

01:56or until your potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

01:59This can take more or less time

02:01depending on how large you cut up your potatoes.

02:05When your potatoes are close to being done,

02:08peel and smash six garlic cloves.

02:12Smash the garlic with the side of a knife

02:14and transfer them to a small sauce pan.

02:20Add one and a third cups of whole milk

02:22and I like using whole milk

02:23to add some richness to the potatoes,

02:25but you can use any kind of milk.

02:28Place that over medium low heat, stirring occasionally,

02:31and continue cooking just until you see steam,

02:34then take it off the heat.

02:35You don't wanna boil the milk.

02:37The potatoes should be just about done.

02:40You can see they're easily pierced with a fork,

02:42so it's time to drain those potatoes.

02:45Make sure the potatoes are really well-drained

02:47and if they seem very moist to you,

02:49you can place them over very low heat on the stove

02:52while you're mashing.

02:54There's several ways to mash these.

02:55You can either use a classic potato masher

02:58or use a potato ricer.

03:01Pressing your potatoes through a ricer

03:03is the best way to ensure you have zero lumps

03:05in your mashed potatoes.

03:07My favorite way to mash up potatoes

03:09is using an electric hand mixer,

03:12but really you can use any method you prefer.

03:15Also, make sure to mash your potatoes right away

03:17while they're hot.

03:19This helps to prevent the potatoes from turning gummy.

03:23Coarsely mash up your potatoes.

03:25They don't have to be perfect at this point.

03:27We're gonna add the steaming hot garlic milk.

03:30I like to use a small strainer to make sure the garlic cloves

03:35don't get into the mashed potatoes

03:36and add the hot milk to your desired consistency.

03:40I add the full one and a third cups of whole milk

03:43for four pounds of potatoes

03:45because I love super creamy mashed potatoes.

03:48Continue mashing the potatoes

03:50until they're fully smooth and creamy, then stop mixing.

03:53You don't wanna over mix your potatoes.

03:55Also use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot

03:59to make sure you didn't miss any chunks of potatoes.

04:04To finish the potatoes,

04:05add eight tablespoons of softened unsalted butter,

04:09along with 1 1⁄4 cup of sour cream,

04:12and 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of salt or salt to taste.

04:23All right, once they are whipped and creamy,

04:25they are done and it's time to serve.

04:28And here's a great tip.

04:31If you're not gonna serve these immediately

04:33after you make them,

04:34it's a good idea to mash them up at the stove

04:37over very low heat.

04:38That way the potatoes stay hot and steamy

04:41until you're ready to serve them.

04:43All right.

04:47Little sample for the cook.

04:49Before the taste test, that's what I'm talking about.

04:53All right, just a couple little things for garnish

04:56that will take these potatoes over the top.

04:58Let me show ya.

05:02I'm gonna put them in a serving bowl.

05:08I got the potatoes on.

05:11Here we go.

05:19All right.

05:21Now to garnish this,

05:22because I'm excited for mashed potatoes.

05:24I don't know about you,

05:25but I get this craving for mashed potatoes

05:27that doesn't go away until I make them.

05:30All right, so I love to put on some softened butter

05:33over the top while the potatoes are hot,

05:35so it can kind of melt over the potatoes

05:38and it kind of keeps them from drying out.

05:42All right, here we go.

05:46I just find that little bit of melted butter

05:48over the top of mashed potatoes to be completely irresistible.

05:54Okay, a little more.

05:55Okay, and some freshly chopped chives.

05:59It adds that little pop of color

06:01and chives go really well with garlic and with sour cream,

06:05so it's a really good complimentary flavor.

06:07Lots of chives, and look at that butter

06:10getting all melty in there.

06:11Woo!

06:13I'm excited,

06:14because I get to have some homemade mashed potatoes,

06:17garlic mashed potatoes, and it's time for the taste test.

06:20I'm gonna dive right into this.

06:22While it's hot, creamy, whipped, and buttery.

06:27Really doesn't get any better.

06:28Okay, here we go.

06:29I need a bigger taste test than that.

06:31That's what I'm talking about.

06:32Ha, ha, ha.

06:33Hmm.

06:38Hmm.

06:41Hmm.

06:44Wow.

06:46This has like beautiful garlic flavor

06:48laced throughout the whole thing,

06:49but it's not overpowering.

06:51It's just so much flavor.

06:54Oh, and then you can really taste the butter.

06:55I love using softened butter,

06:57because I feel like it gives the potatoes

06:59more flavor than melting it.

07:02And those chives.

07:05It's such a treat.

07:06Really, just that little bit of garnish

07:08really goes a long way,

07:10and it really brings out the sour cream in the potatoes.

07:12You can taste it.

07:13Even though there's only a quarter cup in here,

07:15it just adds so much amazing flavor.

07:18If you've never added sour cream to your potatoes,

07:20it is a must try.

07:22Oh, these are fabulous.

07:24Oh, they're so good for any special occasion.

07:27Really, they taste like very decadent,

07:30even though there's not a ton of butter in this,

07:32but wow.

07:34Make sure to try this with our Instant Pot chicken and gravy.

07:37The gravy over these mashed potatoes is like next level.

07:41You're gonna love it.

07:42Or these are also really good with our juicy roast turkey

07:46for the holidays.

07:48Oh, wait, one more thing.

07:50These are excellent.

07:52If you have leftovers,

07:53make sure to try our mashed potato pancakes.

07:56They're so good, so easy,

07:57and a genius way to use leftover mashed potatoes.

08:01Okay, I think that's it for now.

08:03I think.

08:04Bye.
