Instructions
Preparing the Potatoes
- Boil the Potatoes: In a medium pot, boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside. Alternatively, you can also micro-wave the potatoes until they are soft.
Grilling the Potatoes
- Prepare the Arteflame Grill: Heat your Arteflame grill to it ready for grilling.
- Grill the Garlic: Grill the garlic on the flat cooktop with a bit of butter. Allow it to cook until golden and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mash the Potatoes: Return the boiled potatoes to the pot. Add the grilled garlic, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Add Smoky Flavor: For a delicious smoky flavor, transfer the mashed potatoes back to the flat cooktop part of the grill. Keep them on the cooktop for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The potatoes will absorb the delicious smokey flavor.
Serving
- Finish and Serve: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese if using, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
