Ingredients

1 1/2 hrs.
1 batch
  1. 80size 78-82 10 oz. Idaho potatoes (or 1 bag from the store)
  2. Extra virgin olive oil
  3. 4-5whole garlic bulbs
  4. Heavy cream
  5. Salt
  6. Homemade Buttermilk Ranch dressing (store bought will work)

Cooking Instructions

1 1/2 hrs.
  1. 1

    To make the garlic confit, take 2 C. Oil and 2 C. Peeled whole garlic cloves, put them in a sauce pan, simmer oil with garlic until their is a light brown hue and garlic is soft

  2. 2

    Keep the skins on the potatoes cut them in to manageable small pieces put them in the cold water and turn the heat to high

  3. 3

    Once potatoes are finished, strain and return to the pan. Add a decent amount of salt and I start with a 7 count pouring in the cream

  4. 4

    Hand mash while stirring to get consistency, take out the garlic bulbs only and mash and mix in. Last add the ranch and stir

  5. 5

    In between all the steps we should constantly be tasting it to make sure there is the balance of flavor, always taste the end result, it should have a creamy yet lumpy texture, with a salt sweet taste while grasping that garlic flavor
