Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Helpful hints

• Double the garlic for a stronger garlic flavor.
• Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using one of these methods:
• Double boil method: Peel and small dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and prepare as desired.
• Leaching method:  Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of warm tap water and soak for 2 to 4 hours. Drain and cook as desired.
• Leached potatoes can be blanched and frozen in batches. To blanch vegetables, add to boiling water for one minute, remove and rinse in cold water before freezing.
• *Potassium content taken from reference values for double-boiling small peeled and diced potatoes.
