Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a
sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400
degree F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft.
Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with
potatoes when they are ready.
Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not necessary to
peel potatoes, unless you desire.
In large saucepan (or pot), bring red potatoes to a slow boil for
approximately 20 minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the
potatoes used. For faster cooking, cut into smaller pieces. Internal
temperature should be 205 degrees F. Remove from heat and drain in
colander.
In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves,
and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher.
Return mashed potatoes to low heat, if necessary, to bring them to a
serving temperature of 165 degrees F.
Saut�ed Onions, Mushrooms: Melt butter in skillet over medium heat
and add onions and seasonings. Saut� and stir until lightly
caramelized.
Add sliced mushrooms and stir, as needed to avoid burning, until
hot.
Sirloin Steak Skillet: Grill steaks to desired degree of doneness.
Melt two slices of mozzarella cheese over two shingled steaks for
each plate.
Top with onions and mushrooms, and serve with mashed potatoes on the
side. Source: The Milwaukee Channel |
