Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

[@Silvervette96]

A tip from Alton Brown; after you peel and cut the potatoes, put them in cold water and set in the refrigerator for a few hours. The starch will rise to the top and you can skim all the starch out of the water. The potatoes will always be fluffy!!!

[@eleanorryan2750]

Great tip, thankyou and regards from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@TheGreatSalsaMan]

I heard you bake them instead of boiling they taste even better because boiling in water loses some of the flavor in the process

[@hk19478]

The first time I ever made mashed potatoes was a couple of years ago, and I followed John's older garlic mashed potatoes recipe. It was sooooo good. I added cheddar cheese in mine to make it extra comforting. And I'm not ashamed to say, I ate the whole thing myself, albeit in two sittings. I rarely eat mashed potatoes so I didn't mind the indulgence😊

[@EM-mw2qr]

High five! ✋

[@meenha1976]

Omg I had this on once in my life at a very expensive restaurant in California, husband had a voucher for that restaurant, since it was mother's day, I took mom, even as expensive as that Italian restaurant was, we ordered loads of food and a garlic pizza to take home. I never could duplicate that garlic mash Potatoes again. I'm deffo trying this on the weekend ❤❤❤❤❤

[@enjoy7024]

Mashed potatoes and gravy are my favorite comfort food.

In Denmark we have a dish that's mashed potatoes topped with bacon and caramelized onions. It's called "brændende kærlighed" which means burning love :) Thanks as always for a great recipe ;)

[@julieobrien4056]

That’s a great name!

[@islandgal500]

We have to get John to research and show us how to cook this one as it sounds delicious! Time for a 'comfort foods from around the world' series.

[@joshm9504]

Do you have a good recipe you can post? It sounds interesting. I would like to try it.

[@selenac.798]

Mr. Kanell, I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. I’m new to cooking and baking, and I absolutely appreciate how you explain almost everything . For example, how long to keep the stand mixer on high, and how to “fold” when mixing. This has helped me so much! I bought your book and been trying one recipe at a time and I come look here for the video!! So thank you again! Hope you go far!! ❤

[@jamesktucker979]

keep it up.

[@anothergenericname3126]

Same! His videos got me to love baking especially :D Even though I was a beginner, I felt very confident in anything I tried... and it (almost) always came good. It's cool he also explain the magic happening behind all of the stuff, not only telling the recipe itself.

[@rachaelaroha3922]

Looks amazing,Great tips.

[@MustardSeedish]

My dad was one of ten kids so box mashed potatoes was what he was raised with. My mom always made mashed potatoes with texture to assure him they were the real thing. This looks delicious! I especially like the way to showed us how to get all the excess moisture out.

[@a.s.6685]

There is no excess moisture if you boil the potatoes whole and peel them after they are cooked.

[@B2N777]

Say hi to Dad tell him I'm making it with my dad now in Bosnian Vlasic mountains we just shepherded 300 sheep and we are very hungry but we didn't know how to make it and this is all we have now at 1 am in tent with some prsuto and cheese our tornjak dogs will eat too of course . Cheers and stay safe

[@islandgal500]

I love that...' live in a house of texture issues'. I felt that. Have trouble with eating a lot of things like cottage cheese for instance. Same as for tomatoes - love the tomato sauces but hate tomato chunks in anything and certainly never sliced. I know I am missing out on a lot, but I'm too old to change. It is enough for me to eat these same foods in a different 'texture'.

[@PinkCircleO8]

Same here on the tomatoes. And also I have no problem with using onion powder, but onions themselves, nope.

[@didi012578]

Just a thought. Do you like a good blt?

[@kellylaflash1016]

I'm the same way, for a totally different reason - 40+ year survivor of childhood cancer dealing with late-term effects from treatment - many of those 'textures' are choking hazards now

[@islandgal500]

@@didi012578 I do like a lot of white pepper on things but not so much with the black or other mixed types because they seem to have a stronger, more bitter flavor, so less is better.

[@karenshurley4793]

John, you must explain to your husband and children cook always tastes before serving 😊just keep telling them something seems a bit off, by the time you’ve figured out the something, it’s all gone 🫢😃

[@jeffhatmaker817]

Thanks for the video. I learned a few things about mashed potatoes. The re-heating tip was interesting and I didn't know you could freeze them. BTW, I sous vide my potoes with garlic and cream in the vacuum sealed bag and mash them with my hand before i open the sealed bag. Please try it, it is delicious.

[@nancyharman4795]

Looks fabulous!!! I might mention one additional step that I discovered quite by accident when I dropped a pan of raw potato pieces on the floor before boiling them. I had to thoroughly rinse the potatoes before adding water to cook. As a result of that rinse, the excess starch was removed from the cut sides, and the typical gray scum did not form on the surface of the water as the potatoes boiled! I've been rinsing my potato pieces ever since! 😄

[@abstutheit]

“The House of Texture Issues” sounds like an art film!

[@evileva39]

There is not a potato I don’t love. I don’t eat a lot of them, but I love potatoes.

[@talithiamcleod5108]

Same here, YESSS

[@Theboxingobserver]

Bubbagump ^ the Tara’ version 😂

[@CouchPotatoCrusader]

Potatoes are the best. So yami

[@EM-mw2qr]

Every time I go to our local diner I order the potatoes and eggs with bacon and sausage. The potatoes are golden and crispy. So delish.

[@lolaottinger3038]

My son loves potatoes and always has, mashed are his favorite and also his daughters favorite. We enjoy garlic mashed potatoes and I also love mashed potatoes with horseradish! It’s the bomb. A great little club in Dallas served rare roast beef and horseradish mashed potatoes at their happy hour from time to time. Pure comfort food. By the way John, at holidays I generally peel and prepare at least ten pounds of potatoes, if we have guest then I will make even more! Talk about KP!

[@joanderson2055]

Ha, I just peeled a pot of potatoes, AND I happen to have a new braid of garlic bulbs! Just waiting for the pork roast to fall apart in the slow cooker......mmmmm. Thanks, John

[@colleencox276]

Yum! Been making mashed potatoes like this for years. So much flavor ❤

[@noracharles80]

Great video! I never thought of adding garlic to the potatoes to cook! Brilliant! Thank you. May I make a suggestion: I found if you add 4 to 8 ounces of cream cheese (room temperature) to the mashed mixture, they taste like fresh, just mashed potatoes, after either refrigerating or freezing. It my family’s secret to a pot load of mashed potatoes staying delicious until the Thanksgiving turkey is gone. Yum!

[@lorrainehicks9172]

You're making my mouth water. Those mashed potatoes 🥔 look delicious . I'm glad you told me about over mixing. I've used a mixer all my live but not anymore. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

[@latmcb9863]

Sounds like you are a smooth, no chunks mashed potato fan. I am as well and I tell you, once I got a potato ricer, I never went back. You can get the smoothest mashed potatoes ever and only need to give them a brief stir after ricing and adding the milk and butter. Enjoy!

[@katiewright2232]

A word to the wise - something I just discovered this year. Get yourself a potato ricer! You don’t have to peel the potatoes - I just cut them up into quarters, steam them until Fork tender,, and press them through the ricer with the skin on, and they come out beautifully fluffy, and magically self-peeled! Best mashed potatoes ever! 👍

[@nabihaelrefaai3304]

كنت أنتظر هذه الوصفة منذ زمن طويل ، شكرا جزيلا ❤

[@cookiejones]

Thank you John, just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving! They look delicious, I gotta try this, exactly…

[@cd2290]

The one problem I have with these recipes is that I need to make them myself. They look so amazing, but I just don’t have the time or energy in my hectic life to put into cooking/baking. 😢 I wish you could send the food my way ❤

[@magicinkitchen2367]

Plz don't make your life so hectic that u can't make a dish for yourself to keep you energetic. Always keep yourself first.

[@cbording]

Brought back lots of memories thanks! My mom beat the hell out of them with cold milk as the last step so they were gummy yet delicious with her homemade white or brown gravy over them. ❤

[@theresahernandez6923]

I totally understand “The House of Texture Issues”. My husband and I have a blended family and 3 members have Texture Issues. They are not biologically related. My granddaughter is 15, my son is 40 and my son in law is 48. Thank You for your amazing videos. Much love and blessings to you, your family and our world.

[@mhm8489]

This was a charming video! Plus all the little prep pearls were so helpful.

[@raquelle04]

Fun fact in my house when we have no idea what to cook, mashed potato is always the answer. We boil it add olive oil and ground dried mint, with it we eat green onions and pickles. So yummy!!

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

This mash look different than the usual one thank you for the good recipes friend God bless your family nd appreciated 👏

[@amyelizabeth9088]

I've made a lot of your recipes, and they are 😋 "ALL DELICIOUS" 😋. Thank you...🍽 🫶🏻 🍽

[@Morticulturist]

For the record I’m glad you mentioned the peeler. I have had one in my cart for a while and wasn’t sure if I wanted to snag it. Thank you! 😂

[@bug8884]

I have a peeler just like his. It was my grandma's and it's the only peeler I use. I have tried others but my grandma's works the best and it's never needed sharpening!

I always love your recipes, love from Zambia

Your recipes never disappoint ! After seeing these potatoes, would love a shepperd’s pie recipe !!

My guy loves mashed potatoes-trying this soon! These will also appear on Thanksgiving!!

[@patriciaelg1464]

With Yukon Gold potatoes, I always leave the skins on. I also like some lumps🥔

[@cassandracross-soto4133]

Same…my daughter got angry with me because one time I made them and there were no lumps. So I make sure to leave some lumps just for her!😂

[@jorhoads6930]

I never heated my milk and butter before nor did my mom. Why do you do this? Thanks for all your recipes!❤

[@doucetteapril1453]

Love all your recipes. My kids thx you. ❤ thx you

[@progamer4757]

Hi john I love your recipes mostly I have tried really really good ❤

[@cindyloomis9096]

I prepare a bag of jumbo russets. I would mash them and put them on a lined cookie pan. Spray with non stick spray. Use a serving spoon to make a single portion. After they were frozen I would put them in a gallon zip bag and use as needed. The last 6 yrs I had gastritis and IBS. And mashed potatoes were one of the foods I could tolerate. I would boil chicken, use the broth for gravy, and pour it over the mashed. BTW I did figure out the cause of my gastritis and IBS . I'm great now.😊

[@yvettevernon3488]

Love how you do the potatoes john. Thanks for the tips!! can't wait to try it.

[@LuAnnNelson-gi5pm]

[@pattynapoleon1541]

Thank you for the reply. I love these videos ❤

[@ellaalbarracin233]

Yes, I agree. Yukon golds are the best mashed potato potato. I have to do an order from Rouses supermarket tomorrow. My grandma gave me permission to use her card. At least I didn’t do it without permission. She’s gonna have me go ahead and charge it to her card. my grandma said I’ll get this order because my mom just got a huge ass Sam’s club order I’m making mashed potatoes to go with beef stew on Saturday night and I’m using Yukon gold potatoes and yeah when you make mashed potatoes always peel your potatoes they just give a better texture

[@carolbenson6524]

Looks like heaven!

[@cassandracross-soto4133]

I never knew not to boil the water first. Everyone loves my homemade mashed potatoes. Didn’t know I was cooking them incorrectly??? I will try your recipe of cooking them because we are about due for another round of mashed potatoes!

[@geetasawant2608]

Your recipes are bomb , super cool presentation & very yummy at the same time. Treat for eyes is a bonus, tried many times this & turns out perfect as you said.

[@michelewells85]

These look amazing❤

[@a.s.6685]

FYI these potato varieties are not available in Europe, which does not prevent us from eating delicious purée de pommes de terre.

[@pandoraeeris7860]

In addition to all that, I add a cup or two of parmesan, 1/3 cup or so of chopped parsley, and a tbsp of chili powder.

[@LadieKadie]

Gosh I love your channel! Nice work John!

[@HomeWithJackie]

Does anyone know where his pots are from?! They’re absolutely beautiful 😍 ❤

[@CelestialDarkness45]

"you'll want at least 6 cloves of garlic" me: that's not enough garlic, my guy. xD

What knife is that, absolutely amazing

Instead of boiling potatoes I prefer to steam them. The recipe looks great.

I like garlic cheese mashed potatoes, and I found that if I make them, I have to cut or remove the butter for the cheese or it'll be gluey.

[@janicepierce9774]

I need your cookbook

[@dhanarajesh9531]

When you are cooking Hard Pretzels with different flavors?

[@barbianni2194]

I notice you didn’t rinse the potatoes. Is there a reason for this?

[@BertyPerez-h6r]

Excellent ?

[@jaydrs5672]

Either pre rinsed or he didn't feel like it. He mentioned texture issues as well

[@ShelfClutter]

All that garlic makes me want to add olive oil to this recipe. Would that be a bad idea?

[@syedali-kr1fj]

You don't need to put back the pot on the stove after draining the water. The pot is still hot enough to evaporate the excess water.

[@a.s.6685]

How can you make potato puree without nutmeg? ;-)
