Mashed Potato Casserole, Garlic, Green Chile

Recipe Ingredients

20		Garlic - unpeeled
3 1/2 lbs	1589g / 56oz	White potatoes - peeled
3 oz	85g	Cream cheese - room temp
1/2 cup	118ml	Sour cream
1/3 cup	78ml	Milk
1		Diced green chilies - 4 oz/drain
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
3 tablespoons	45ml	Butter or margarine

Recipe Instructions

Put the garlic cloves into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 30 minutes. Drain. Cool slightly and press the garlic out of the skins into a small bowl.

Cut the potatoes into quarters and steam over boiling water 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and put into a large bowl. With an electric mixer beat the hot potatoes until well mashed. Beat in the garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, milk, green chilies, salt and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.

Beat until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a greased 2-quart casserole and cool. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours ahead. Remove from refrigeration 1 hour before cooking.

Dot with 1 tablespoon butter and bake, covered, in a preheated 350-degree oven 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 25 additional minutes.

Note: For those who like very spicy food, substitute a 4-ounce can of chopped jalapeno chilies for the chopped green chilies. Serves 8-10; approximate preparation time, 50 minutes. From 'The Book of Regional American Cooking - Southwest,' by Jan Nix.
