Zutaten / Ingredients
- 1kg of potatoes or sweet potatoes
- 1 bunch of chives
- 150 ml (¾ cup) of (plantbased) cream
- 3 piled tbsp (about 90g) margarine / butter
- 3 garlic cloves (it's implicitly allowed to adjust this number to your own garlic needs) Tip: roasted or pickled garlic will be much less spicy and very soft in taste)
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- salt
Zubereitung / Instructions
- Peel and wash the potatoes. Add salted water to a pot and cook the potatoes for about 20 – 30 minutes until soft.
- Peel and mince the garlic or press it through a garlic crusher.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and soft drain the water through a strainer and leave the potatoes in the pot.
- Bit by bit add the margarine, cream and garlic to the potatoes and use a potato masher* until you have a thick and smooth mass and all the ingredients are blended well.
- Season to taste with salt and nutmeg.
- Mince the chives and stir them under the mashed potatoes.
Anmerkungen / Notes
You can either use a potato masher or a hand-held blender. However, it takes some more muscle power to receive a creamy result with the non-electric device.
The desired texture – smooth or clumpy – also depends on your personal taste.
If you're working with the potato masher be sure to mince the garlic very finely to prevent unpleasent situations in which you bite on a raw piece of garlic.
