Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe

Mashed potato is such a classic dish that I’m sure most of us have eaten a lot of it since we were little. While I like those with creamy textures that almost melt in the mouth, the coarsely mashed ones are equally tasty especially if you don’t mind eating potato skins. I like to keep the skin on for my potatoes (whether for fries or mash) as they contain so much fibre and nutrients that I think it’d be a waste if I dispose it off.

This Garlic Mashed Potato Recipe combines the mild tang of sour cream, the pungent aroma of garlic and the fragrance of butter to give the potatoes a balanced flavour that’s deliciously light and refreshing. And of course, spring onions too to give that extra crunch with every mouthful. You can enjoy this as a meal on its own or use it as a side dish for your weekday dinner. Bon appetit!
