How to make garlic confit mashed potatoes with duck fat or olive oil recipe is here. Viral TikTok side dish made with sour cream you'll love.
Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 pot
- 1 masher
Ingredients
- 1 lb. potatoes red used, peeled and diced
- 20 cloves garlic
- 1 c olive oil or duck fat
- 1/4 tsp salt and pepper less or more depending on taste
- 1/4 c sour cream or heavy whipping cream for thinner
Instructions
- Place the garlic cloves in olive oil and heat over low heat. After the oil boils, wait 10-12 minutes and then let the garlic oil rest for another 10 minutes. After this, you can remove the garlic from the oil.
- Peel the potatoes and add water to cover them, cook until soft - after the water boils, about 20 minutes.
- Drain all the water. Add 1/8 tsp salt and pepper (can add more later) + 2-3 tbsp of the garlic oil from the pan + sour cream or heavy whipping cream. Use a potato masher to smash as much as you would like (I like to leave a little chunks).
- Chop almost all the garlic in the pan and add it to the potatoes, gently fold together. Taste the puree and, if necessary, add more salt, or cream to thin, or 2-3 tablespoons of garlic oil to thin out.
Notes
** Mash and stir/fold the least amount possible as over-working mashed potatoes will make them gluey and gummy.
