The avocado gives this mashed potato dish extra taste and creaminess, and increases the nutritional value of the dish. The caramelized garlic cloves do the trick and give the dish a real punch! Recipe adapted from Essen&Trinken--Kartoffel Avocadopüree mit Knoblauchkaramell.
- 20 g Sugar
- 20 g Butter
- 10 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 300 g Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 80 ml Milk
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 Ripe avocado
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 50 g Wholemilk yogurt
- 2 tbsp Curly parsley, chopped
- Caramelize the sugar in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Add in butter and garlic cloves. Cook until the garlic cloves turned a beautiful golden brown.
- Place diced potatoes and 1/3 teaspoon of salt in a large pot. Fill with encough water to cover the potatoes. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until cooked through. Drain.
- Half the avocado and scoop out the flesh and place in a large bowl along with lemon juice, yogurt, salt and pepper. Reserve the avocado shells. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
- Warm the milk in a pot over the low heat. Mash the drained potatoes through a sieve into the hot milk. Remove, then add in avocado puree and chopped curly parsley. Warm up the mixture over the low heat. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the avocado shells with potato puree, and top with some caramelized garlic cloves.

I love avocado full stop. But this with caramelised garlic I'm sure it was heaven. Happy new year to you. :)
My god, that looks so amazing.
This really sounds good...I wonder how it would be with mashed cauliflower instead of the potato?
I feel like I say this almost every time I comment on your recipes, but you have outdone yourself yet again. I love coming over here because you always have such unique things, such great presentation, and great photos to top it off. You are so talented! I am bookmarking this one, too!
Angie
what a beautiful presentation of a truly amazing mashed potato! I can see how the avocado works with this dish, just perfect! I also like the use of yogurt to cream it up a bit....It must have been so very tasty!
Cheers
Dennis
That is such a unique combo.

sweetlife
Wow, Angie, you never fail to amaze me with all your yummy food! Love this!
Very special mashed! I believe the avocado makes a lot different for the mash potatoes. I would like to give it a try, thanks for sharing!
I have so enjoyed adding avocado to bread recipes, but I've never thought about mashed potatoes. What a great idea! I can't wait to give this a try. I'm sure it makes each bite extra creamy...and there is such good fat in Avocados. Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you have a happy Tuesday!
@Flick
Try it out! :-))
I love both of these individually...yet, I would never truly have thought of putting them together like this. I guess, I'll need to try it in order to appreciate the appeal of such a combo ;o) Anyhow, it does look tempting ;))
Angie, here's wishing you the very best in the New Year.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
Angie, I love this! So smart to add avocado instead of cream for fat and then just a bit of milk-that's nice! The garlic flavor sounds like it would be so nice in there too...
I love the idea of avocado in mashed potatoes. Lovely presentation!
What a great idea! I never would have thought to add avocado to mashed potatoes, but it sounds fantastic.
This is a keeper! Health ingredients and terrific flavors. Even better, the presentation is gorgeous!
Kristi
Caramelized garlic sounds amaaaazing, Angie! And the green color from the avocado is really eye-catching. Love your creative dishes. Happy New Year!
You couldn't have combined more of my favorite ingredients in this delicious dish, Angie - I love avocado, mashed potatoes, and of course, lots of garlic! This looks delicious and comforting. Thank you for sharing! I hope you had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. I can’t wait to see what’s next from you in the year ahead!
That's such a cool combo...looks wonderful...Happy New year,Angie !!
Awesome recipe! I will surely try this soon. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a great idea for adding richness to potatoes!
This look delicious! Love the green color on the mashed potato. I'm pretty sure you can't find anywhere else but here!
This is a combination I would of never thought of putting together but I love it! I can just imagine how naturally buttery and creamy the potatoes must be - delicious!
I like your way of how to serve mashed potato in the avocado shell too. :)
What a wonderful and unique dish...love it!
The addition of avocado absolutely increases my desire for mashed potatoes ten fold! And the caramelized garlic on top, is the ultimate finishing touch. Gorgeous, Angie!
Angie - you are TERRIBLE!!! I've just started a diet and exercise routine and I want so badly to believe this is NOT fattening, but I know I would only be fooling myself ROFL
My word, I cannot tell you how delicious this looks and sounds *sigh*
Sounds really yummy,awesome combo!
what a great combo!
Oh wow! Awesome mashed potatoes! I definitely will make these. I love that you used avacado; it must give it a wonderful flavor, and using carmelized garlic sounds great too:)
so creamy and combo of avocado and potato looks so yum and the caramelised garlic sounds so flavourful :)
I say WOW! This is gorgeous and looks soooo gooood!
I love this idea... AND I have an avocado in the fridge!!!
What an innovative & healthy breakfast option. Love Avoccado with mashed potato. This is going to be on my dinning table this weekend.
What a great idea! I looooooooove this! I adore mashed potatoes, garlic, AND avocado...there is absolutely nothing to not love here.
It looks like a great dish, but 10 cloves of garlic is too much in my opinion. The garlic will overwhelm all other flavors. You may want to go with one clove of garlic or two at the most.
Great idea to pair potatoes with avocadoes! I will definately have to try this!
This looks awesome, yummy!
Wow, these look absolutely amazing. Great idea to put it in the avocado skins.
Oh my goodness, that looks SO incredibly delicious. Avocado, mashed potatoes and caramelized garlic? What a mind-bowing combination! The presentation is lovely, too.
This presentation is a knockout. And I can only imagine how creamy the avocado makes already creamy and luscious mashed potatoes. What an amazing idea!
I've never thought of combining avocado and potatoes. It looks amazing! I just have to give this one a try!
mashed potatoes are my favorite side dish, no doubt about it, and i love the creaminess of avocado. i never would've thought to combine the two without you, angie--many thanks!!
That looks fantastically delicious - Am definitely going to try this one!
We will have to try this! Just discovered you via FoodBuzz. Love your take on food! Tschuess!
This is gorgeous. What yummy ingredients and stunning presentation. Would never have thought of this one! Well done.
I am avocado obsessed so love this idea. Lots of fiber from the avocado too. Very creative.
This is awesome! I love this spin to the boring ol' mashed potatoes. Definitely have to give this a try! Bookmarking it now.
