It's no secret that mashed potatoes become very appetizing thanks to certain additives.
But few people know that milk and butter are not enough to turn a side dish into a culinary masterpiece.
One more additional ingredient is needed.
We are talking about garlic. Moreover, the spicy vegetable must undergo special “processing”.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a cook and fourth-class baker, spoke about an interesting way to improve the taste of puree.
The Secret to Perfect Mashed Potatoes
As mentioned above, the dish becomes more delicious thanks to garlic.
But you shouldn't add raw spicy vegetables to the potato mass. First, the secret ingredient needs to be baked.
Take one unpeeled head of garlic, cut it in half, sprinkle with a little vegetable oil, wrap in foil and put in the oven for about half an hour. Temperature - 180 degrees.
If you are short on time, heat the garlic in a microwave oven. In this case, the desired result will be achieved in 5 minutes, not 30. However, with this approach, you should use parchment paper instead of metal paper.
Add the softened garlic cloves to the potato mixture and “process” the resulting mixture with a potato masher.
Next, pour in warm milk and add butter.
After thorough mixing, you will get a gorgeous puree: you have never tasted such deliciousness before.
