Autumn Potato Mash

Now that we are officially entering Fall, I get overly eager to throw together yummy comfort foods, without the extra comfort. This past week at the grocery store there were some finds that were on sale that sparked an idea for a revamp of mashed potatoes.

        

   

Ingredients: 

+Half a Pound of a mixture of potatoes

+Fresh Basil(A Handful)

+Fresh Garlic (4-5Cloves)

+2 Cup of Water

+1/3 cup of heavy cream

1. Rinse the potatoes and chop them up in cubes of 1/2 inch. Toss them in a sauté pan and let them cook for 10 minutes on medium-high. Throw half the basil with 3 of the garlic cloves.

2. Add the 2 cups of water and allow the potatoes to sizzle until majority of the water is evaporated, should be around 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. After they have softened take a masher, and mash until majority of the potatoes are mashed. I left some of them chunky for a stronger texture. Add 1/3 cup of heavy cream and stir with a spoon until the cream is evenly spread.

4. Put back on the stove for 5 minutes and add the remaining of garlic cloves and basil, with a dash of salt and pepper!

I made it with roasted veggies as a side and it was yummy! :)
Happy Cooking.
