Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat and let any residual water steam off, about 2 minutes. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher. Fold in the ...
Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Then turn on high heat until the water comes to a boil. And boil the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes until a knife inserted in the middle of a potato goes in with almost no resistance. Carefully drain out all of the water. Prepare your melted butter mixture.
Mistake 2: Cutting Them Too Small (or Cutting Them Unevenly) Small chunks may cook faster, but they take on too much water, preventing absorption of the butter and cream later on. Similarly, if your cuts are uneven (large and small chunks), the potatoes won’t cook at the same rate, leading to uncooked lumps in the mash.
Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat so it’s simmering rapidly. Cook 15 minutes or until potatoes are very soft (jab with fork to test, they should fall apart). Drain well, return into pot. Leave for 1 minute, shaking pot every now and then, to encourage evaporation of water.
Peel and quarter potatoes, place in a pot of cold salted water. Add cloves of garlic (if using) & bring to a boil, cook uncovered 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well. Heat milk on the stove top (or in the microwave) until warm. Add butter to the potatoes and begin mashing.
Spoon them into a casserole dish or large container then cover and refrigerate for 1-2 days. To Reheat: Remove from fridge 1 hour before baking. Taste and add additional seasonings as needed, or milk, to make sure they are soft. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until warm.
Cover the potatoes with cold water, cover, and bring to a gentle boil. Uncover and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until knife tender. Heat the butter and half-and-half and add salt. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Heat the half-and-half and salt in another small saucepan. Keep both warm.
Method. Cook the potatoes: Place the peeled and cut potatoes into a medium saucepan. Add cold water to the pan until the potatoes are covered by at least 1 inch. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer, and cover.
Instructions. Place the potatoes and garlic in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season the water with a tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and gently boil for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
Step 1. Fill a large saucepan about halfway with cool water and set aside. Peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch pieces and transfer to the saucepan as you work to prevent browning. Add more water, if needed, to cover the potatoes by about an inch, then set the saucepan over medium-high heat.
