How to Make Garlic Potato

  1. Peel and chop 1 kg potatoes into roughly 2cm cubes.
  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  3. While potatoes boil, melt 50g butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Do not brown.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 100ml heavy cream.
  5. Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth. Gently fold in the garlic cream mixture.
  6. Transfer the potato mixture to a shallow oven-safe dish.
  7. Sprinkle 50g grated cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the top.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Adjust garlic and cream to your taste preference. Experiment to find your perfect balance!
  10. For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
