There are a variety of ways to create the best-mashed potatoes that you have ever tasted, but when it comes down to which way is best, is always according to your own taste buds.
Let’s make this creamy and delicious Popeyes Mashed Potatoes.
You can see, that one of the basic ingredients for this mashed potato is garlic.
When you take a look at garlic, you will see, that there are various kinds of garlic that you can use for your mashed potatoes such as German red garlic, Spanish Roja garlic, Leningrad garlic, and Yugoslavian. You can find all of this garlic in powder form or use fresh garlic. So, the first thing you need to do is decide which garlic you would like to use. Personally, I like using fresh minced garlic cloves.

How to make the Popeyes Mashed Potatoes
- First, we need enough potatoes to feed everybody. The rule of thumb is one medium potato per person. But, my family loves potatoes, so I have to use 2 potatoes per person. Cut all the potatoes into 3-inch pieces.
- Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half and put them in the same pan as the potatoes.
Fill a medium-sized pan with water and boil all the potatoes and garlic. Add salt on the top. Cover the pan with a lid.
Usually, you would have to leave the potatoes for around 15-20 minutes, but before taking them off the heat, make sure that they can be easily pierced with a fork.
- When is tender drain the potatoes and pour them into a mixing bowl. Add salt and margarine and blend with your electric mixer until they combined well. Now, add a bit of milk, cream, the olive oil and beat again until smooth. Add more milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
NOTE: You can add just milk if you don’t have cream or vice versa. In my opinion, it’s not much of a difference. And, if you ask me, I prefer it with milk. The reason is, that I like mashed potatoes soft and smooth. With milk is done perfectly how I like it. Olive oil or vegetable oil also goes with it all the time.
- Finally, add some gravy if you wish.
