Creamed Garlic Potatoes
Sometime when you have the oven on for an hour,
roast a few bulbs of garlic, about an hour at 350. Remove cloves into
a glass far and cover with olive oil. Will keep refrigerated for several
weeks.
5 medium russet or all purpose potatoes, scrubbed
and cut into 3 inch pieces
4 tablespoons roasted garlic in oil or 2 tablespoons butter
½ cup cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Boil potatoes in enough water to cover and 1 teaspoon
salt. When they may be pierced to the center with a fork, they are done.
Do not over cook. Drain immediately and return to heat for a few moments
to evaporate excess moisture. Mash potatoes with potato masher, add
garlic and a bit of the oil or butter. And combine thoroughly with masher.
Add cream and stir rapidly to reach a creamy consistency. Taste and
add salt and pepper to taste. The potatoes will be slightly lumpy because
of the skins. Peel potatoes is you wish, but we like them in this rustic
fashion.
