new Mashed Potatoes

• 2 12 lbs scrubbed red potatoes or 2 12 lbs new potatoes, cubed
• salt water (for cooking)
• 1 cup butter, divided
• 12 cup chopped red onion, diced finely
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 -6 tablespoons heavy cream or 2 -6 tablespoons creme fraiche
• salt and pepper

1. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
2. Place into cold salted water, enough to cover, and boil until tender.
3. Mince onions and garlic while potatoes are cooking.
4. Drain well.
5. In a large bowl, put drained potatoes, and 1 stick of butter mash lightly.
6. Add onions, garlic, garlic powder and salt and pepper.
7. Using a hand mixer, blend well ( I leave some chunks ).
8. Add remaining butter and enough cream to make smooth.
9. These reheat great and even better the next day when flavors have blended.
10. I used them today to make a casserole, put into a buttered casserole dish and added some grated swiss and broiled about 5 minutes until cheese was browned a bit and bubbly.
