Step 1

Step 1
How to make garlic mashed potatoes? Prepare all the necessary ingredients and equipment for making garlic puree. The utensils you will need are a saucepan and a saucepan, and you will also need foil.

Step 2

Step 2
Take the garlic and cut it crosswise into two parts. Wrap it completely well in foil. Now preheat the oven to 200°C and as soon as the oven is heated, bake the garlic in it. This will take half an hour. After half an hour, remove the garlic and open the foil.

Step 3

Step 3
Now get to the potatoes. Wash the potato tubers and peel them. Cut the already peeled potatoes into quarters. Place the chopped potatoes into a large saucepan. Separately, boil water and pour it over the potatoes so that the water covers only three-quarters of the potatoes. I needed 600 ml. But since the pots are different, a different amount of water may be required.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the pan with water and potato pieces on the stove over high heat. Bring the contents of the pan to a boil. Salt the potatoes and cover the pan with a lid, while reducing the heat. Boil potatoes for 25 minutes. It may take a little less or, conversely, more time. It depends on the type of potato and its size. The main thing is to bring it to softness. When the potatoes are cooked, drain all the water.

Pour the milk cream into a ladle, add a piece of butter and add nutmeg on the tip of a knife.
