    Source of Recipe

    foodnetwork.com

    List of Ingredients

    6 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered see Note
    4 clove peeled garlic
    2 C. canola oil
    6 large (1½ C.s sliced) shallots, thinly sliced
    1 C. half-and-half
    12 T. (1½ sticks) unsalted butter
    Kosher salt

    Recipe

    In a large pot, cover the quartered potatoes and garlic cloves with cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
    Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the canola oil until shimmering. Add the shallots in a single layer and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to paper towels to drain.
    Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, shaking out the excess water. Add the half-and-half and butter to the pot and heat until melted. Remove from the heat. Press the potatoes and garlic through a ricer into the pot and season with salt. Stir and cook over moderate heat until very hot. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle the shallots with salt and garnish the potatoes with the shallots.
