Guy Fieri is definitely my greatest cooking inspiration. I'm sure it has to do with his love of great old cars, good music, and love of classic American themes. He co-owns a restaurant called Johnny Garlic, a place I plan to visit in the near future. On his cooking show, Guy's Big Bite, he showcases his restaurant's recipes at times, and this one was one of my favorites. Garlic mashed potatoes. Who doesn't love them?
Yukon Gold Potatoes (1/2 a pound)
Butter (3 tbs)
Milk (2-3 tbs)
Garlic (1 1/2 tbs minced)
Get peeling those potatoes! Get them all peeled up nice, and pop them in our put. Bring it to a boil, and cook for 25-30 minutes (until tender). Drain them, and put them in a bowl. Add the butter, and mash them up. Start stirring in the milk. Not too much, just enough to give it a creamy fluffy texture (just like we love our mashed potatoes). Mix it all up, and then add the garlic. Now like Guy Fieri, I am obsessed with fresh garlic. Fresh garlic is so much better than any other garlic you could hope to get. you'll want to use 4-5 cloves, all minced up nice and small. Mix in the garlic, and add a little salt. Serve it up as a rocking side dish to fried chicken, steak, salmon? The list is endless. (I am a lover of salmon for how healthy of a fish it is, and of course the awesome flavor. See my pan-fried salmon recipe for my favorite marinade)
Just another huge thanks to Mr. Fieri for how much he constantly inspires me to experiment more and more and keep improving cooking finesse.
