Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
- Pour the garlic butter mixture and milk into the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot alongside pot roast.
Side dishes for pot roast have a rich history, often reflecting the regional flavors and culinary traditions of the area. In the Southern United States, classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes, buttery cornbread, and tangy collard greens are popular accompaniments to pot roast. In the Midwest, you might find hearty dishes like roasted root vegetables, buttered noodles, and fluffy dinner rolls served alongside the succulent meat. Renowned chefs like Julia Child and Emeril Lagasse have popularized the idea of serving pot roast with garlic-infused mashed potatoes and caramelized carrots. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in cozy, family-owned restaurants that take pride in their traditional recipes and use high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. To truly elevate the meal, it's essential to get the seasoning and searing of the roast just right, and to allow it to simmer slowly to achieve that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. For a unique twist, consider serving pot roast with a side of creamy polenta or a refreshing citrus salad to complement the rich flavors of the meat.
