My
husband loves this recipe and it is no wonder why. It tastes just
as good as what you get at a restaurant - and better in my personal
opinion. By just adding two ingredients, you can transform generic
mashed potatoes into a wonderful Italian recipe!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
Italian Name
1 lb potatoes (6-8 medium ones)
patate
2 garlic cloves minced
spicchi d ' aglio
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
(or Parmesan)
formaggio Romano
1/3 cup milk
latte
2 Tablespoons butter
burro
Instructions
1.
Peel and then boil
the potatoes until they are very tender.
2.
Drain and place in
a large bowl.
3.
Add in the garlic,
milk, butter and cheese.
4.
Use a masher or your
mixer to mash the potatoes slightly.
5.
If using a mixer,
turn on and mix until fully well blended. If using a hand
held masher, just keep mashing until it is blended to your
liking.
6.
If the potatoes are
a bit dry, add more milk.
7.
Serve warm.
TIP #1:
The reason I mention mashing the potatoes slightly is because
if you turn the mixer on right away, the potatoes may fly
out of the bowl a bit. I just used the mixer to do this, then
turned the mixer on. You'll see it in the video above.
TIP #2:
You can use a mixer or a masher by hand - either way is fine.
I make them both ways. Just make sure it is well blended.
TIP #3:
You do not need a lot of garlic. I would not recommend more
than 2 cloves.
TIP #4:
You can use any kind of potato. Sometimes I'll use red, sometimes
baking potatoes. It tastes good either way.
TIP
#5: This recipe goes great with roasted vegetables
and meat dishes.
