Simple Garlic & Feta Smashed Potatoes image

This was a spur of the moment experiment. I had a craving for mashed potatoes, but I hate peeling them (they say that all the nutrients are in the skin anyway, so I like to leave them on) and was kinda bored with regular mashed potatoes. I checked the fridge and this is what happened. Every single time that I serve these potatoes, they are gone in record time. Please keep in mind that I am a "measure by eye" type, so the recipe may need to be adjusted to suit your tastes. Enjoy!

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -5 large potatoes, skin on, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 cup feta cheese, finely crumbled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes and garlic cloves together until potatoes are tender.
  • Drain, retaining potatoes and garlic.
  • Add mayo, milk and butter and "smash" the potato and garlic together with a hand masher. (I prefer the texture this way, but you can use a mixer if you prefer it that way.).
  • When potatoes are the consistency that you like, add the feta cheese and mix well to distribute.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy.
