Garlic Mashed Potatoes

I have a little story behind preparing this.

One evening my  husband was mentioning about this "Continental" outlet near his office.

He was in absolute awe of the "Steamed Chicken with Mashed Potatoes"

I was like what is the price - and it was some Rs.300-/- odd.

WTH!!! Too expensive for speck of bland , white boiled chicken and potatoes.

It was then i decided to prove my husband - what a waste expenditure it was.

I did'nt know how it tasted - i did'nt know how it looks - but i took the resolution to cook.

I did ask him - how it tasted.

A bit salty, creamy and smooth.

I did search Google.

When i've gone through the recipe - i was like WTF!!!

Damn too easy and cheap and that smart restaurant fellow sold for 300???

Anyways - here we go.

Ingredients:

• Potatoes - 3 (Medium Sized)
• Milk - 3/4 Cup
• Butter - 1 Cube
• Salt - As per taste
• Pepper - As per taste
• Garlic - 7 Cloves(Finely Chopped)

Method:

• Cut the potatoes in cubes
• Take a pressure cooker - put the cut potatoes - pour enough water - let it boil for 3-4 whistles.
• Count of whistles depends on your cooker .
• Boil them so that they should be easily pierced by a fork.
• When they boil - mash them to a paste.
• Meanwhile take a pan - add a speck of butter and saute the minced garlic.
• Take out the garlic from the pan - onto a plate
• Pour in milk and add butter to the same pan.
• Heat it so that you melt the butter - but do not boil
• Now add salt, pepper and sauteed garlic.
• Add these mashed potatoes and mix well.
• Serve hot - Garnish with coriander .

I did make it - and did taste my first mashed potatoes.

It was great!!!

My husband liked it a looot too.

Simplest recipe - rich in carbs and is healthy fro breakfast.
