Vampires Hate Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Garlic mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food. My favorite style is rustic with the potato skins still on and creamy. This recipe is easily adapted to smaller or larger quantities. You can also substitute butter and heavy cream for cream cheese or add Parmesan to change the flavor.

Ingredients:
5 medium baking potatoes
5 gloves garlic
1 stick butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt to taste


Directions:
In a large pot boil the potatoes and garlic. Once potatoes are easily pierced with a fork drain in colander. Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a stand mixer. You can return to the pot if you're using a hand mixer. Add the butter, heavy cream, and salt. Mash the potatoes on a low speed. If using a Kitchen Aid I suggest the paddle attachment.
