Each year I make this same recipe for Thanksgiving & these mashed potatoes are always a hit! The only thing I add is 1 whole head of roasted garlic to every 3lbs of potatoes for ultimate sweet garlic flavor. You put the whole garlic head in aluminum foil, drizzle some olive oil, wrap it up & put them in the oven to broil for 12-15 mnts to roast them. once they're roasted you unwrap them & cut(sideways) the entire top of each whole head exposing all the cloves & squeezing all cloves into the mashed potatoes. Using an electric mixer or regular wisker make sure to mix all the garlic into the potatoes until the garlic is desolved & it's done. Butter roasted garlic mashed potatoes are to die for 😂. Enjoy!
@nanangh70276 жыл бұрын
Broil the garlic after drizzle with oil overnight with low temp, around 40 degree celcius, it will taste deep and sweeter. try it. You might want to adjust the temperature depending on your oven, but it worth. I usually broil a lot of garlic in one pan not just for mashed but for other cooks too, so it will not waste electricity :)

So, yes, i fully agree with this amount of good butter in the mashed potatos. Thank you for the video!

This sounds almost exactly like my mash potato recipe except for one thing. When I cook my potatoes I cook them in chicken broth, veggie broth, or beef broth depending on what I'm serving it with. The broth adds that extra bit of seasoning that you can't get from just adding salt and pepper. Everything else I do exactly as chef Johns recipe. If you want your company raving about your potatoes and wanting to know your secret try them this way. They will taste them but won't be able to figure out what's making them sooooooo good! Thanks Chef John!😊👍

I made these potatoes yesterday, and they were awesome!!!! I followed instructions to the letter. I used good salted European butter, two blocks of it...PLUGRA brand. I know Alton Brown and Geoffrey Zakarian have said they prefer Kerrygold brand, but we taste tested both, and PLUGRA won hands down...and no, it's not too much butter. The best part of this method for me being 71 y.o., dammit to hell, is I did NOT need a big potato ricer, which is another darn thing to clean up and hard for me to crank now that I'm older. No lumps. Not gummy at all. Just wonderful. Cleanup is a breeze. We had wonderful Chicken Kiev that I had made up and froze last week. Not really a turkey fan. The potatoes were a great side that was worthy of a well made Kiev. No comparison to a frozen store bought one, even though they are passable when in a hurry, but not for an elegant Thanksgiving dinner. Loved seeing Chef John the other day, live talking to us all out here.

But my favorite quote from her is "if cows have to have salt to live then so do people". She has no health problems other than knee replacement and high blood pressure that she had her whole life and she is not willing to take blood pressure medication because she'd seen so many people die from taking them. On the flip side I had a grandma that ate nothing but "healthy" food her whole life and died in her mid 70's... Guess who I'll listen to. BTW, she still lives alone in her house, not assisted living.

OK, I made them. But I tweaked a little. First I cooked UNPEELED potatos whole. When about 2/3 done, I removed (reserveing water) and when they cooled enoug, I peeled them. I then cut them up and placed them in reserved water and finished cooking them. ROughly 2 lbs. potatos. I used a little more than one stick of SOFTENED butter (per your recommendation). And I used a small amount of the potato water. My grandmother ALWAYS told me, potatos lose HALF their taste if you peel them before cooking. Your method (combined with mine) produced the smoothest, tastiest mashed potatos EVER!!!

Vegans don't eat dairy dumbass. Butter and milk fall under that category.

I watched this a while back but decided I should brush up since I’m making dinner for a date tonight. Trying to be a brother Fredo, to my mashed potato.

I am officially my family's mashed potato and sweet potato pie maker (altered from your pumpkin pie recipe). Chef John will win you friends, FACT!

I thinks it's better to have a little potato with your butter than a little butter with your potato. LOL. ;)

I'm sure you saw this coming. Show this much butter in a single camera shot and people are going to go batshit insane. That's probably just what butter does to humans. They may pretend they don't want it, but secretly they're just upset because they can't taste that. However, I have to say, while I do see this being fine for a holiday meal once a year, when I clicked on this I was hoping for more of an everyday "ultimate" mashed potato recipe. Something to just spice up the classic. I was thinking something along the lines of your twice-baked potatoes, with green onions, cheese, cream and an egg yolk, just to make the mundane a bit more exciting. Maybe you could do a recipe on that as well sometime? Thanks Chef John, and please do make witty comebacks to all the silly haters.

By the way I have done this recipe and agree that a nutmeg garnish is perfect for Thanksgiving and gives just the perfect earthy nuty twinge that everyone enjoys yet can't figure out lol.

Omg these potatoes are good. I usually make my potatoes with chicken stock and heavy whipping cream. I forgot to but it and decided to try this recipe instead. NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! These potatoes are so rich and creamy and irresistible. Almost addicting. Thanks for another awesome recipe. They always turn out awesome.

I've been making this recipe for 4 years now. I always chicken out at the last second and don't put all the butter in. Thank you Chef John! Also I love your 666 deviled eggs. Also every Christmas I make this I am comforted knowing every line John will say.
