Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I’ve been sharing 3 posts a week for over 6 months now and I’ve noticed myself gravitating to 3 ingredients over and over and over again: Parmesan, Feta and Garlic. (Make sure to subscribe!) Not always in the same recipe but most of my recipes contain and least ONE of those ingredients. I guess I must be going through a phase of craving salty and strong flavoured foods because I just can’t get enough of them.
These garlic mashed potatoes are PACKED with garlic and so beautifully flavourful that I’ve been making it as a side time and time again lately.
You can adapt this recipe to suit your tastes though and reduce the number of garlic cloves to 2-3 instead of 4 for a slightly less pungent garlic flavour.
