Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Total time: 35 minutes
     I always make enough to use in another meal - patties, or shepherd's Pie, or something....

 Ingredients:

• 4 medium potatoes, (24oz, 720gr)
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tbs butter
• 3 tbs milk or cream
• 1/2 tsp salt

 Instructions:

• Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. 
• Put potatoes in medium saucepan and add just enough water to cover.  Add salt and cover. 
• Bring to a boil over medium heat.  When boiling (and pay attention or they will boil over) reduce heat and take cover partially off.  Continue cooking until done, 20 - 25 minutes.  They should be very done, easily coming apart when poked with a fork. 
• When done, drain and put back on the heat 10 seconds or so to evaporate any excess moisture. 
• Mash with a potato masher (or fork if you don't have one) 
• Add enough of the garlic/milk mixture to get your desired consistency. 
• If, after adding all of it, the potatoes are still too stiff just add more milk. 
• Garlic Milk:
• While potatoes are cooking mince or press the garlic. 
• Heat butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. 
• Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it brown. 
• When tender add the milk. 
• Keep warm until ready to use in the potatoes.
