Garlic Mashed Potatoes Optional Ingredients: You may add a pinch of nutmeg to the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Cooking Tips: Reserve a few slices of butter to place on potatoes in the serving bowl so that the butter will melt in front of your guests. Special Ingredients: Yukon Gold potatoes are a relatively new variety to consumers and has a yellow to golden skin color with an excellent texture for boiling and mashing. Sir Walter Raleigh cultivated the humble potato at his home in Ireland, convincing the Irish and the rest of Europe that the potato was not poisonous, but quite fit for human consumption. Recipe can be found in gourmet Cooking with 5 ingredients www.greenriverjunction.com European-Style Garlic Mashed Potatoes 2 pounds Yukon gold or cobbler potatoes 4 whole cloves garlic, peeled 11⁄2 cups whole milk 1⁄2 cup sour cream 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, cubed Serves 6-8. Peel potatoes and slice into quarters. Place potatoes in a large pot with a cover and fill with cold, salted water. Add the garlic cloves and bring water to a boil. Boil uncovered for approximately 20 to 25 minutes until the largest slices of potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set potatoes aside. In a small pan, slowly bring the milk and sour cream to a boil, then immediately set aside. Mash the potatoes and garlic and place back into large pot. Set on stove at low temperature. Gradually add warmed milk to potatoes while using a hand mixer to blend. Beat until smooth and creamy. Using a wooden spoon stir in the butter.

I don't get the big whoopla but, whatever Yukon Gold ORIGIN: Released jointly by Agriculture Canada and the University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 1981. Yukon Gold was selected from a cross between W5279-4 (a yellow-fleshed diploid hybrid of Solanum phureja and haploid cv Katahdin) and Norgleam. It was tested under the pedigree G6666-4Y. Uh, that means they aren't grown in Europe Jill |
