What to add to mashed potatoes

It is clear that the dish will taste better if you add more milk and butter to it.

But there is one more ingredient that definitely won’t be superfluous.

We are talking about garlic. But not raw. The vegetable must be pre-cooked.

Each head of garlic should be topped and put into the oven or microwave. In the first case, the vegetable should be wrapped in foil, in the second case - in baking paper.

Baking in the oven should take about 40 minutes. When reheating in the microwave, a couple of minutes may be enough.

After processing, the garlic cloves will be very soft. They will easily turn into a mush, which will need to be added to the mashed potatoes.

Earlier, gourmets were told how to turn a vinaigrette into a masterpiece.
