How come you say buttery garlicky if you just only add salt only while boiling .? 😂

Hi chef from Algeria. I recommend to cook potatoes and garlic and salt on steam and then replace the butter with olive oil and add camembert. If you don't use garlic then add melted cheese instead of camembert. I love your channel

Oh my gosh!! I am almost 71 yrs old.

I have lost count of all the things I have learned from watching you. Where did you get the ricer- that looks so convenient and would give me the texture I just can't get with a masher.

[@silverdemonwolf426]

Good luck! I got mine out last year late (mid 30s, for the longest time my lower ones were still covered by bone so they would have had to break that to get them out). Yogurt is a good pick as well, but not anything that has little seeds, as they can get into the healing spots. Also soup you don't have to chew, so either broth or potato soup or tomato soup are all good choices. Two things they didn't warn me about that both happened to me. 1. My jaw muscles seized up afterwards from being forced open so long during the extraction, and I could barely open my mouth at first. They'll relax and slowly loosen up over several days, it just makes chewing difficult when you're ready for something more substantial. 2. If they have to do anything more than yanking them out, there may be little bone shards left behind. They'll eventually work their way to the surface a few months later after you've healed and come out on their own. Doesn't hurt, but it was a bit of a WTF moment when it happened until I googled it.

You are more than just a talented chef, but a well respected chef because of the meticulous consideration you put into all the details of each dish you craft to ensure a consistent final product for anyone following along. Your precision does not go unnoticed and I thoroughly appreciate the explanation you provide behind taking each additional step, cooking is definitely a calculated science where the final product is a direct result from the usage of knowledge and technique.

When I add garlic to my mashed potatoes I prefer to roast and entire bulb of it. I simply place the bulb of garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top along with a dash of pepper, then pinch the foil closed and bake for 30 - 40 minutes. When its done it is so soft n creamy, then I mash it into the potatoes. Absolutely divine!

Alright. I tried the recipe today! It was delicious! But words of caution! Please, take out the garlic before you mash the potatoes up. For those who don't want garlic bits ending up in their mashed potatoes. Also, if you want your mashed potatoes creamy, just blend them either in a blender or food processor. I used my food processor, and it's nice and smooth, no lumps! Also, I used 1 cup of milk, because I felt 3/4 was too little for this big batch of potatoes. Again, thank you so much for this recipe! It will now be my go to recipe!

Being Irish we are the masters of potatoes (we have them 6/7 days a week) but I am intrigued with your idea to add garlic to the boiling process and I would love to try this. One question did you remove the garlic after straining before starting the mashing or did you mash it right in?

That's what I wanted to know. He doesn't mention fishing the garlic cloves out afterwards either in the video or in the written recipe. I've seen other people's recipes where they too have used garlic cloves in the boiling process and they've mashed them along with the potatoes.

I like to add some sour cream or cream cheese for a creamier texture.

[@SheilaLS]

That's weird because decades ago I remember my Mom always put the potatoes into a bowl of cold water for a bit before cooking them and she made fantastic mashed potatoes. She did the same thing when making fries but then dried them on paper towels so the oil wouldn't splash. I always assumed soaking them released some of the starch.
