Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic, about 10 to 15 cloves
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch of pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/2 cup milk, boiling
- salt and white pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons whipping cream
- 4 teaspoons parsley, minced
Instructions
- Separate the garlic cloves. Drop into boiling water and boil 2 mins, drain and peel.
- Cook the garlic slowly with 4 tablespoons of butter in the covered saucepan (on low) for about 20 mins or until very tender but not browned.
- Blend flour and stir over low heat until it froths with the butter for about 2 mins without browning.
- Off heat, beat in the boiling milk and seasonings. Return to heat, boil, stirring for 1 min.
- Rub the sauce through a sieve or puree in an electric blender. Return to pan and simmer for 2 mins more.
- Peel and quarter the potatoes. Drop in boiling salted water to cover and boil until tender. Drain immediately and put through a food processor.
- Place the hot puree in the saucepan and beat with the spatula or spoon for several minutes over moderate heat to evaporate moisture. As soon as the puree begins to form a film in the bottom of the pan, remove from heat and beat in the butter a tablespoon at a time.
- Beat in salt and pepper to taste and then beat the hot garlic sauce vigorously into the hot potatoes.
- Beat in the whipping cream by spoonfuls but do not thin out the puree too much. Beat in parsley. Correct seasoning and turn into a hot serving dish.
