Kathie's Notes:

A friend of mine who used to work at Applebee's gave me 2 recipes that are close to a couple of my favorite dishes from that restaurant. These are not claimed to be Applebee's actual recipes but rather a close approximation. :)

I love these potatoes because they are a bit lumpy and have the beautiful red skins in them. It does take a while to roast the garlic, but that step is so important to making them GOOD! Its the key to this whole recipe.

 

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic bulb in aluminum foil, sealing well. Bake for 45 minutes until garlic is soft.

Remove garlic from oven when done. Let cool in wrapping. When cool unwrap, peel the cloves, and squeeze out cooked pulp. Set aside.
2
When garlic is done wash and quarter potates, leaving skin on. Boil in as small an amount of water as possible for about 20 minutes or until cooked. Drain.

Add all ingredients to hot potatoes and mash by hand with a potato masher, leaving lumps to your liking. Serve immediately.

I didn't even ask for the marinara sauce because I learned to make a great sauce from my first husband's mother, 2nd generation Italians. And GREAT cooks!

Oh I almost forget, our local Applebee's does not use bacon in the potatoes but it sounds wonderful!
