When I went to Applebee's and tried their mashed potatoes for the first time and LOVED it! I wanted the exact recipe so I can make my homemade mashed potatoes more flavorful. I went through several website and found the perfect one that tastes quite identical to the one at Applebee's.
Recipe serves 4 people
1 lb. red potatoes
1/4 c. milk
1/8 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 Tbsp. butter
1/2. tsp of salt and pepper to taste
1/8 c. garlic
If you want to use the real garlic, place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degree preheated oven for 45 minutes or until soft. Unwrap and let garlic cool until touchable. Peel the cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
If you want to use the minced garlic from a can, just spread it flat on a small plate and microwave it for 5 to 10 seconds then mix with potatoes.
Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. Leaving the skin on or off is up to you. In a large saucepan, bring to a boil for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain in colander. In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, garlic and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher or hand mixer. Keep warm and serve.
The ingredients above will taste great and will taste quite identical to the one at Applebee's. However, if you are tight on budget, but would like to make this, you could eliminate heavy cream and use a little more milk. It still will taste great.
