Do you make your own mashed potatoes? 🤤

If yes: How do you make it?
If no: Why not?

Context: I'm currently eating a bit of mashed potatoes that I made with a dash of garlic butter, with gravy, lingonberry jam and meatballs

Yeah. Boil the potatoes with a couple garlic cloves then mash them together while warm. Then add cream (or milk+ butter) and some cheese. Cook the mixture a bit. If you want it to be smooth & stretchy put that in a blender. If you like it chunky & fluffy then don't. Garnish with parsley.

@SW-User Ooo you like garlic in yours too 🥰 Most times I dont add garlic but when I'm in the mood for a bit more rich experience I enjoy doing that. It's an interesting way you choose to add it together with the potatoes. Do you think there's a big difference in pressing raw garlic and boiling the garlic first?

Well yeah there is. To me raw garlic is a bit too pungent but boiled is mild & nice @MartinTheFirst

@SW-User Yes its very pungent, it's the way I also like my baked potatoes, but in this case its like mashed baked potatoes which I find fun haha
