[angel-jd1]

I know there is someone out there who has worked at outback and KNOWS

the recipe for their SUPER yummy garlic mashed potatoes. Shhhhh I won't tell that you spilled the beans on the recipe. Please please pleaseeeeeeee let me know how to make them!!!

Also applebee's garlic mashed recipe would be yummy too, they also have

killed garlic mashed taters.

I just can't seem to replicate the recipe at home!!! HELP!!

I don't know their recipe, but I make regular mashed potatoes and leave the skin on. I hand mash them so they're not "perfect" and add lots of that chopped garlic from the produce dept. of the grocery store. Powdered garlic wouldn't work the same. And be heavy handed with the garlic!!

I've also heard that you can toss whole, peeled garlic cloves into the water while boiling the potatoes. I suppose then you could either mash them in with the potatoes or discard them.

Hope someone has the exact recipe you are looking for. I know LaurenM works at Outback.

This weekend we tried:

red potatoes boiled with skin on.

Put the garlic in the water to boil and mashed it into the taters

Added cream cheese and milk

Whipped with an electric mixer. It was good, but wasn't exactly the outback recipe. I am on the hunt!! haha OOOOOOOhhhhh Lauuuuurrreeeennnnnnnnn MMMMmmm!!! Come and be my secret outback spy!!

I'll bet they add a secret ingredient ...horseradish, maybe? scallions?

I use Idaho potatoes and use lots of garlic as I mash them. I also use milk and lots of butter (at least I did before I got off casein).

That's interesting putting garlic in the water.

I think salt brings out the taste of the garlic, so I would bet they use that, too.

I work at Outback, but I don't know the recipe for anything. They're very secretive about that kind of stuff.

The secret is whipping cream. Saute the garlic in butter before adding to the potatoes. Toss in some sour cream and parmesan.

I make wasabi garlic mashed potatos that rival wolfgang puck. Its all about the whipping cream.

When I went to Outback they told me that it was some kind of premix stuff they added. They brought it to me and it add some weird questionable ingredients. I didn't even think it was gluten free.

If you are speaking about their garlic mashed potatoes, they ARE on the gluten free menu.

Has anyone found my top secret spy recipe for the garlic mashed taters yet? They never taste the same as outback when I make them at home

Jessica,

I sure hope someone posts----they sound delicious! I used to work at Applebee's, and they were made from scratch, which is rare for them (they would come in early and do the prep...peeling about a million potatoes!) But I never made them myself

Ditto as to what Elonwy said!

Sautee the garlic in butter and then add them into th potaoes. If you have a nice big Kitchen Aid Mixer, then the taters will be even better. I use 3 parts sour cream and one part Philly cream cheese and a dash of whipping cream instead of milk...

[Lauren M]

The Outback's garlic mash are fresh made - definitely not from a mix. They use heavy whipping cream, and sauteed garlic (yes, prob in butter) and potatoes (on which they leave the skin). I'm not sure of exact ratios, but they sure are tasty!
