Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of yellow potatoes
- 5 tablespoons of salted butter
- 1/3 cup of soy milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- freshly chopped green onions
- 1 head of roasted garlic olive oil drizzle
Instructions
- First up, roast the garlic. I usually do this in the afternoon, or even a day or two before. Set the oven to 400 degrees, and then cut off the top of the garlic head.
- Lay the garlic cut side up on a sheet of foil wrap. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Then wrap up the head of garlic and roast until it’s soft and golden brown, about 40-60 minutes. Then, squeeze out and use up.
- Once the garlic is roasted, wash and peel your potatoes. Then cut them all relatively the same size. I usually cut each potato into 8 pieces.
- Add to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil, then gently boil for 15-20 minutes, until a knife easily slices the potato.
- Drain and rinse – pat dry with a clean dish towel and pass a few pieces at a time through the ricer before it lands back in the clean pot.
- Then, add the butter, milk and salt (pepper, too if you wish). Mix well and let sit in the warm pot until you’re ready to serve.
- Once you’re ready, dish out the potatoes into a serving platter, top with the roasted garlic and chopped up green onions. Then, eat up!
