Black pepper, to taste (lots!!!)
1/4 cup garlic cloves
I like to leave a little bit of the peel on the potatoes...I like how it looks and I like the taste too! Plus the skin has the most nutrients.

Usually I drizzle olive oil on a whole head of garlic and wrap in tinfoil to roast. Today I only had a few cloves so I had to do them as explained below.
Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degree F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
Creamy and yummy with a hint of garlic!!! Try them for supper sometime soon! We are having them tonight with a lettuce salad and sirloin steak smothered with carmalized onions and mushrooms!!!

ReplyDeleteThat is my most favorite meal, chick! I love the chopped ground sirloin and mashed potatoes at Outback. I also mash my potatoes with the peels on. I use evaporated milk though, lots of butter and LOTS of pepper. We think alike, honey........

Yummy!! DH and I are a wee bit older than you so we need to really watch the fat intake. I now use all milk when making mine. Not quite as good but with enough roasted garlic, just about anything tastes yummy! Your pictures are making me hungry!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, can I come over? Sounds like a delicious meal!
ReplyDeleteNice awards...I'll go check out the bloggers who gave them to you...they must be nice folks!
Hey Chickie!
ReplyDeleteI've been making these for quite a while! Is there anything that smells better than garlic roasting in the oven? I think not! I also leave some of the peels on the potatoes, and I also leave them a bit lumpy. Just not crazy about super creamy mashed potatoes.
Looks delish! I love potatoes- any way that you make them!
ReplyDeleteoh, boy oh boy!!
ReplyDeleteThose will be a hit in my house!!!!
