Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Mashed Potato Patties
Preparation and cooking time: 45 minutes
I always make enough to use in another meal - patties, or shepherd's Pie, or something....
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, depending on size, 600gr, 21oz
- 4 cloves garlic, 12gr, .4oz
- 1 tbs butter, 14.2gr, .5oz
- 1/4 cup milk or cream, 60gr, 2.1oz
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Peel potatoes and cut into quarters.
- Put potatoes in medium saucepan and add just enough water to cover. Add salt and cover.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. When boiling (and pay attention or they will boil over) reduce heat and take cover partially off. Continue cooking until done, 20 - 25 minutes. They should be very done, easily coming apart when poked with a fork.
- When done, drain and put back on the heat 10 seconds or so to evaporate any excess moisture.
- Mash with a potato masher (or fork if you don't have one)
- Add enough of the garlic/milk mixture to get your desired consistency. If, after adding all of it, the potatoes are still too stiff just add more milk.
- Garlic Milk
- While potatoes are cooking mince or press the garlic.
- Heat butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it brown.
- When tender add the milk. Keep warm until ready to use in the potatoes.
Note: This serves 4 - or half used for the Patties

Garlic Mashed Potato Patties
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes
A great way to use up any left over mashed potatoes ...I always make extra just for this!
Ingredients:
- 1 - 2 cups leftover garlic mashed potatoes
- 1 egg, 65gr, 2.3oz
- 1 tsp dried chives
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 - 2 tbs Greek yogurt or sour cream, 37.56r, 1.3oz yogurt
- 1 tbs olive oil or butter, 13.5gr, .48oz oil
Instructions:
- Lightly whisk egg in a medium bowl.
- Mash potatoes with a fork so they are not stiff. Add mashed potatoes, herbs to egg and mix thoroughly.
- Add 1 tbs yogurt. If they are very stiff add a bit more, otherwise do not.
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dividing potato mixture into fourths, spoon into hot skillet and shape into patties with the back of the spoon. The patties should be about an inch thick (2.5 cm).
- Sauté 10 minutes on each side, turning once. They should be nicely browned. Be careful turning them so they don't break apart - if they do, just pat them back together.
- Serve hot.
