Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large saucepan, place the potatoes and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.

02

Step

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender. (Approximately 15-20 minutes)

03

Step

Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.

04

Step

Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan. Add the feta cheese, milk, minced garlic, and butter.

05

Step

Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in gummy potatoes.

06

Step

Season with salt to taste, keeping in mind that feta cheese is already salty.

07

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and additional crumbled feta cheese.

For an even creamier texture, warm the milk and butter before adding them to the potatoes.
Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and feta to your preference. For a milder flavor, use less garlic. For a tangier flavor, use more feta.
A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt can also be added for extra creaminess.
These mashed potatoes pair perfectly with roasted chicken, grilled lamb, or pan-seared salmon.
