These garlicky potatoes are a great side dish for herbed chicken, pork tenderloin and beef roast. It's great with a main dish that you wouldn't need gravy for since flavorful on it's own. Most of the flavour goes in the pot with the potatoes so it couldn't be easier. Read more Enjoy! See less
Ingredients
- 8 small to medium sized potatoes (Russet or Golden potatoes) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp of salt (to boil potatoes with) shopping list
- 3-4 garlic cloves, left whole but smashed slightly shopping list
- 4-5 sprigs of thyme shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon of Grainy Deli style Mustard or Grainy Dijon Mustard* shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon of olive oil shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons of butter or margerine shopping list
- 1/4 cup milk or chicken stock shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste. shopping list
- *You can use a tsp or so of Horseradish instead of Mustard if desired. (The deli mustard I use has horseradish in it.) shopping list
How to make it
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces, place in a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Add in the smashed cloves of garlic, thyme sprigs and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and boil gently for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Pull out the thyme sprigs and drain the potatoes. For extra garlicky potatoes leave in the garlic cloves, for subtle flavor take them all out. I like to keep two cloves in. Mash the potatoes with any cloves of garlic you desire. Add in the mustard, olive oil, butter and milk or chicken stock and stir until everything is combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (you may need more liquid, so adjust to your desired consistency)
- ~I sometimes add rosemary sprigs and/or a bay leaf to the cooking water as well. Fresh chopped chives are nice in the final dish too.
