Vegetarian : Garlic Mashed Potatoes

• 2 pounds Yukon gold or red-skinned potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  
• Water
  
• Salt to taste
  
• 6 tablespoons butter
  
• 5 large cloves garlic, minced
  
• 3/4 to 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  
• 2 tablespoons TABASCO® brand Garlic Pepper Sauce
  

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste, reduce heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Pour into colander and drain well.

Melt butter in the same saucepan and add garlic; cook over medium heat about 30 seconds, then add milk or half-and-half and TABASCO^® Garlic Sauce, and heat just until warm. Stir in warm potatoes and mix well, using a potato masher or fork to break up potatoes. Add salt to taste and additional milk to make desired consistency.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
