In the Bee and PuppyCat episode "Cats," we learn (thanks to a note from Cardamon) that Pretty Patrick's favorite food is mashed potatoes and that he ate a pile of them at the end of the Pretty Patrick Lunchtime marathon. Here's a great recipe for mashing up your own pile of potatoes!

Ingredients

  • 3 red potatoes
  • 2 yellow potatoes
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 bunch chives, minced
  • salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Wash potatoes and place in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes, and salt the water. On medium-high heat, bring water almost to a boil, cooking potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain water from potatoes, peel and mash, and then put them back in the pot.
  2. Mix cream, butter, and garlic in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Once mixture is heated through, add warm milk and chives, then add entire mix to potatoes, stirring until everything is blended and potatoes are creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Serve Warm
