- 1 lb red potatoes
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup half-and-half or milk
- 4 garlic cloves, roasted
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground white pepper, to taste
- To really get their flavor, these potatoes need to be baked, not boiled. So bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- This would be a great time to roast that garlic too. You can either use a traditional roaster, or you may wrap a bulb of garlic in foil and roast that, be sure to coat the bulb with some olive oil before you roast it.
- Remove potatoes from oven and allow them to cool. You can leave the peelings on or off, I like to leave a few of them on. Chop potatoes, add butter, and half-and-half, and mix with with an electric mixture. Add cloves of garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
- You will want to heat these potatoes in a saucepan until they warm up again.
