How to Make Garlic Mashed Potato Pancakes
- Bring a large pot of salted water (2 teaspoons salt) to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden (about 1-2 minutes). Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Once the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
- Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until mostly smooth.
- Gradually add the milk, mixing until you reach your desired consistency. The mixture should be moist but not soupy.
- Stir in the garlic-butter mixture, 1 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Form the potato mixture into 1/2-inch thick patties.
- Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
