A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, perfect for any occasion.
Peel and chop the potatoes into even-sized pieces.
Cutting the potatoes evenly ensures they cook at the same rate.
Place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain them thoroughly.
Draining well prevents the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
Mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth.
For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
Mix in the butter, sour cream, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a baking dish and sprinkle with paprika.
The paprika adds a lovely color and a subtle smoky flavor.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes until the top is slightly golden.
Cover the dish with foil if you prefer a softer top layer.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
