Roasted Garlic Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes



Thanks Lidia! 
Yes I like watching her food channel, tho I'm not into western style food. ^^
To be honest I do wanna try changing my appetite of food in USA but I need to make it my own that meets my appetite still which is not too much butter, milk, cheese. 

Hubby was in the mood for steak yesterday and he wanna invite his buddies for having dinner together. Me not into steak for your info was in charge for making mashed potatoes.

Mashed Potatoes!
I love potatoes to tell you the truth. But still I'm picky.
I guess one time I ate mashed potatoes in one of the restaurants and tooooo buttery or milk I have no idea, I just couldn't eat it. Until then I always avoid mashed potatoes even it's home made by American friends. ^^


But this Lidia, Italian chef changed my mind about it. I love the way she cooked it. NO BUTTER!
I browsed her website and copied of her recipe. Here's the link to it olive oil mashed potatoes

Oh my God! So good! Love it!*I ate with super spicy saute'sausages mixed in veggies*  


serves: serves 4 to 6

Try this recipe for a delicious Italian rendition of mashed potatoes. I recall that my grandma would fork-mash boiled potatoes, drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Here I added some roasted garlic cloves, very much an Italian American favorite.

Ingredients
2 heads garlic
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2½ pounds medium russet potatoes
1 cup whole milk

Perkedel Abon


I only modified the recipe of perkedel here using the shredded beef or Abon that I made couple of months ago before I visited my home town. It's frozen n still good but quite plenty so that I turned it into perkedel abon.
What is Perkedel? Let me explain about it first since I haven't put recipe of it either. It's a mashed potatoes that's been seasoning with coriander, pepper, salt and green onion. But the potatoes were fried first before you mashed it. It will make the shape stay still when the finishing touch was fried.
Ingredients
4-5 medium potatoes, washed, sliced, fried
and mashed.
seasoning, 1 tsp salt, pepper, coriander, green onion.
Additional ingredient is optional, since I have shredded beef that I cooked before, so I used it. If you wanna know how to click this abon.
But you can use ground beef if Abon is too difficult to make I can say. >_<

Mixed them all
Shaped the dough into round.
Prepare the coating which is 2 whisked eggs.


Method
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Dipped the round shape dough into whisked eggs. Fried till golden brown. Served with Jasmine rice.
