Garlic & Shallot Mashed Potatoes

Thank you Confessions of a Food Lover

6 medium potatoes (russet works well)

2 cloves of garlic peeled

1 shallot, diced

1 cup or so warm milk (I used skim)

2 tbsp butter

Salt, to taste

Parsley, for garnish

• Bring potatoes, shallots and garlic to a boil in enough salted water to cover them. 
• Reduce heat to medium high and gently boil for about 10 minutes or so until potatoes are fork tender.
• Drain and return to pot. 
• Add butter and milk and mash until smooth. You may need more or less milk. 
• Taste and if desired season with salt.
• Transfer to a warm serving bowl and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
