Garlic mashed potatoes.
From The Art of French Cooking by Julia Child

30 cloves of garlic
4 TB butter
2 TB flour
1 c boiling milk
1/4 tsp salt
pinch white pepper

Drop garlic into boiling water and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and peel. Melt
butter in small heavy-bottom saucepan and cook garlic slowly in butter,
covered, for about 20 minutes until soft but not browned. Add flour and stir
over low heat for 2 minute. Off heat stir in milk, salt, and pepper. Return
to heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring. Press through a sieve or puree in
a food processor. Set aside.

2-1/2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
4TB softened butter
Salt
White pepper
2-4 TB whipping cream
4TB minced parsley

Boil or microwave potatoes until soft then drain and put through a potato
ricer or food mill. Return to pan and stir over low heat for a few minutes
to evaporate some of the excess moisture. As soon as the puree begins to
form a film on the bottom of the pan remove from heat and beat in the butter
1 TB at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste. Beat in the garlic sauce and
enough cream to reach the desired consistency. Beat in the minced parsley
and serve.
 
thanks guys for all your help~ I found it~ the key ingredients I couldnt remember was cream cheese~sour cream~ I knew it was something different instead of milk~ thanks again~SeaShelley dinner will be around 6;)
 
Cut up as many baby red potatoes with skins on as you need to feed your family. Put them in a pot with enough water to cover, along with as much chopped garlic (chop into large pieces so they won't fall through the colander when you drain) as you like and some chopped onions if you like those. Salt the water to keep it from boiling over. Boil until potatoes/onions and garlic are soft enough to mash - drain water. Heat your cream or milk in a pan or in the microwave just long enough to get the cold out of it, add to potatoes/garlic/onions and mash with a potatoe masher until as soft or lumpy as you like. I like to add a little mayo to mine, and less milk. Salt and pepper and stir, then add butter last.
 
Serena.....I'll second that!! :teeth:

albiet I dont get to eat them very often...this is my fav recipe for garlic potatos! Mrs. Child always emphasised how important it is to serve the potatos hot...she'd keep them warm before serving in a double boiler or steam tray.

whirlsy-if you want to serve them in the skin...I'd just bake some potatos and once cooled...clean out the flesh to use the skins as serving vessels for the mashed potato

:)
 
I've made garlic mashed potatoes with a combination of buttermilk and heavy cream (and garlic of course). Really good stuff.
