Red Garlic Mashed Potatoes

INGREDIENTS:

8 medium red potatoes, cubed

2 teaspoons crushed garlic

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/4 cup half-and-half cream

2 tablespoons white sugar

1/4 teaspoon steak seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place the potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Add 1 teaspoon of the crushed garlic to the water for flavor. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
2. Drain the potatoes, and add the butter. Mash until the butter is melted. Mix in the half-and-half, sugar, steak seasoning, garlic powder and remaining garlic. Mix potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth.
