How to Make Applebee S Garlic Mashed Potatoes Copycat
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, wrap tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, and roast for 45 minutes, or until cloves are soft.
- While the garlic roasts, wash and quarter the potatoes. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the saucepan.
- Once the roasted garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins. Add the roasted garlic to the potatoes.
- Add butter, warmed milk, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder (if using), and parsley (if using) to the potatoes.
- Mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
