Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Ricer or food mill
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 2 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced to a paste, divided
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese grated (1/2 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup warm whole milk
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until a paring knife easily slides in and out of the potatoes, about 18 to 22 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder with ¼ teaspoon water. Melt butter in the now-empty saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in ⅜ teaspoon of garlic paste and the garlic powder mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden, about 1 minute. Transfer the butter mixture to a bowl and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon of garlic paste.
- Return the empty saucepan to low heat. Using a ricer or food mill, process the drained potatoes back into the saucepan in batches. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the butter mixture until evenly combined. Gradually stir in the warm milk until incorporated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
