Fresh homegrown organic Yukon Gold Potatoes and fresh homegrown organic garlic make the difference in this popular mashed potato preparation!
Ingredients
  • 2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, skin removed
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • ½ cup garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Garlic salt (Lawry's)
  • ½ tsp White pepper
  • 1 cup Sour cream, light, tempered
  • ½ cup Cream cheese softened
  • 2 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
  1. Peel potatoes to yield about 2 lbs. then cut into 1" pieces.
  2. Rinse and cover potatoes with cool water in a medium sauce pan and add the 2 tsp sea salt. Bring to a boil and cook until soft or about 25 minutes. Drain well.
  3. While potatoes are draining melt the butter in the pan over medium-low heat and sauté the garlic. Season the garlic butter with the garlic salt and white pepper. Continue to cook and stir often for about 3 minutes. Do not brown the garlic; you are just looking to release some of the garlic flavor. Turn off the heat.
  4. Add the drained potatoes to the garlic butter and stir well to coat the potatoes. Mash the potatoes quickly but leave some chunks.
  5. Fold in the sour cream and the cream cheese.
  6. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
