Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, minced garlic, juice of half a lemon, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin. Squeeze the remaining lemon half inside the cavity of the chicken.

  2. 2

    Let it Marinate

    Cover the marinated chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight to enhance the flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  4. 4

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through the cooking time.

  5. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 7

    Cook the Garlic

    While the potatoes are boiling, peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic with butter, milk, additional salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve alongside the roasted chicken.
