Garlic Mashed Potatoes- Copycat of Applebee's image

A friend of mine who used to work at Applebee's gave me 2 recipes that are close to a couple of my favorite dishes from that restaurant. These are not claimed to be Applebee's actual recipes but rather a close approximation. :) I love these potatoes because they are a bit lumpy and have the beautiful red skins in them. It does...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium bulb fresh garlic (not clove but the whole bulb with many cloves)
2 lb red skinned potatoes
1/2 c milk
1/2 c heavy cream or half and half
1/4 c butter
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic bulb in aluminum foil, sealing well. Bake for 45 minutes until garlic is soft. Remove garlic from oven when done. Let cool in wrapping. When cool unwrap, peel the cloves, and squeeze out cooked pulp. Set aside.
  • 2. When garlic is done wash and quarter potates, leaving skin on. Boil in as small an amount of water as possible for about 20 minutes or until cooked. Drain. Add all ingredients to hot potatoes and mash by hand with a potato masher, leaving lumps to your liking. Serve immediately.
