A nice flavour addition for your favourite mashed potatoes.
Place potatoes in a 2-quart (1.9 L) stockpot and cover
with water by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Add ½ tablespoon (7 ml)
kosher salt to the water. Bring water to a boil and then
reduce to a hearty simmer. Cook potatoes until very
tender, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes and then
return to pot over low heat. Heat to dry out potatoes,
about 3 to 5 minutes.
Transfer potatoes to Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl. Insert
the chef’s whisk. Mix on speed 6 for about 3 minutes.
Scrape bowl with a rubber spatula and mix again on
speed 6 for another 2 minutes, until potatoes are
completely mashed with no lumps. Turn stand mixer
to speed 3 and mix in the chèvre until completely
incorporated, and then the butter until completely
incorporated. Add garlic cloves one at a time. When
10 are added, taste. Add additional cloves to individual
taste. Add an additional ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) of salt if
necessary.
Serve immediately.
*To roast garlic: place peeled garlic cloves on a sheet
of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and wrap
together. Place in 400°F (200°C) oven for about 30 to
35 minutes, until lightly browned and soft.
