The Rest Of the Thanksgiving Table
Oct 10th, 2007 | By Peter Minakis | Category: Potato, ThanksgivingAs tasty as the turkey was and as much as I’d love to be solely eating turkey, we also had “fixins” at the table. I made garlic-mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and roasted brussel sprouts.
I’m not trying to be fancy here and show you something new flavour combo…it was Thanksgiving and you want good, tasty dishes that will take your memories of all your previous Thanksgiving dinners.
Garlic-Mashed Potatoes
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
6 cloves of garlic
milk
unsalted butter
1/2 bunch of chives, chopped
salt & pepper
- Place your potatoes and garlic in a pot and bring to a boil. Add a couple of Tbsp. of salt, lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Strain your potatoes and place them back in the pot and put the them back on the heat to quickly cook off any residual water. Turn the heat off and add your butter and thoroughly mash (or use a ricer) your potatoes (and garlic) to achieve your mashed potatoes.
- Add some milk and stir in. Add some more milk depending on how think or thin you like your mashed potatoes. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper
- Add your chives, mix well into the mash and keep warm.

Those mashed potatoes look really moist, light and fluffy.
