I had big plans for dinner last night. I got the turkey in the oven, but then ended up having to run two different sets of carpools to two different towns. We had three boys with three different activities all spaced 30 minutes apart. It was so hectic that we didn't actually get to eat the dinner that I had so lovingly prepared. We just pulled pieces of turkey off the bird and gobbled them down as we headed out the door. Ha ha, I said gobbled and I'm talking about turkey. I didn't even mean to.
I did make the potatoes and gravy tonight, so I am posting it now. I first tried these garlic mashed potatoes years ago, and we have never looked back. I prepare them this way every time I make mashed potatoes. They are so yummy that they don't even need gravy. But I did happen to have some this time. Oh, and the turkey recipe I tried is fabulous. Unconventional, but fabulous!
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
1 tsp salt
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
This looks delicious. I make a really good potato dish for the thanksgiving dinner at my sister in law's. This year my mother in law requested I make my garlic mashed potatoes instead. I have never made garlic mashed potatoes for a family event. I have no idea where she came up with that. Well, now I have a garlic mashed potato recipe! Not a whole lot more healthier than what I make (ok, a bit less sodium)
Do you mince the garlic or leave them whole and take them out before you mash the potatoes?
You just leave the garlic whole, then mash them with the potatoes.
What kind of potatoes do you use? I'm going to make it with your crockpot pork chops on Monday! Can't wait!
You can use any potatoes you like. I've made them with russet potatoes and red potatoes and we love both.
