Dijon Mashed Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Cut potatoes into quarters, cover with water and optional garlic and boil until tender- I used red potatoes with skin on.
2. 2
   Alternatively, steam potatoes and garlic together.
3. 3
   Just before potatoes are done, combine milk, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt and pepper until well mixed in a microwave safe bowl.
4. 4
   Cover and heat in microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring half way until heated through.
5. 5
   Drain potatoes, return to pot and mash lightly.
6. 6
   Add butter, salt, pepper and mash again.
7. 7
   Slowly add hot milk and mustard mixture, mashing until the potatoes are creamy and your preferred consistency.
8. 8
   Add Parmesan cheese, mix and serve!
9. 9
   NOTE- make sure you get some of the mustard grains in when you mash the potatoes.
10. 10
    The grains may separate a bit if you pour the milk mixture in, so you might want to spoon in the milk and mustard mixture.
