BASIL MASHED POTATOES
2 lbs. potatoes
2/3 cup milk
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 large clove garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped sweet green basil leaves
Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Place in pot of water to cover, bring to boil and reduce to a simmer, cook until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine milk and butter in a small saucepan. Press garlic in and season with salt and pepper. Heat until milk is hot and butter melted, stirring. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
Drain potatoes, reserving a bit of cooking liquid. Pour hot milk mixture over potatoes and mash until creamy. Adjust seasoning and serve immediately, or return to pot and cover until dinner's ready.
