MASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into pieces (the smaller they are, the faster they will cook).
• Place potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan.
• Bring to a boil.
• Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• Drain, but do not discard garlic.
• Add remaining ingredients, and mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Add additional milk if necessary.
• If desired, season with additional salt and pepper.

GARLIC YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and garlic in a large sauce pan. Cover with 1 to 2 inches cold water and season generously with salt. The water should taste like the sea. TASTE IT! If the water is under seasoned at this point it will be hard to have a well seasoned end product. Bring the pot of water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and garlic well and pass through a food-mill or ricer. DO NOT use a food processor or blender. It will result in a very sticky and rubbery end product.
• While passing the potatoes, bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Once the cream has come to a boil remove from the heat.
• While the potatoes are still hot add 1/3 of the cream and butter and stir vigorously into the potatoes. Repeat this process 2 more times until all of the cream and butter has incorporated. Taste the potatoes for seasoning and add salt, if needed. Serve immediately or cover with foil and keep warm in an oven on low heat.

CRISP GARLIC YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the gold potatoes on the baking sheet, cut side down, and bake for 45 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until crisp and lightly browned; do not let the garlic get too brown or it will be bitter.
• Pour the garlic and oil over the potatoes, add the parsley and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
