Meats

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Meats

    Generously season the picanha and fraldinha with salt and black pepper. For the pork chops, season similarly with salt and pepper, ensuring to rub the seasoning into the meat thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Grill the Meats

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the picanha for about 4-5 minutes per side, until a nice crust forms and it reaches desired doneness. Grill the fraldinha for about 3-4 minutes per side. For the pork chops, grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

  1. 3

    Boil Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Prepare Garlic

    While potatoes are boiling, peel and chop the garlic cloves. In a small pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
