I was a cook-turned-manager for the chain for 10 years, and I made plenty of orders in that time. The potatoes were, in fact, boiled. The actual garlic seasoning came in an 8oz package, so I can't give you the breakdown, but here's what I've come up with to match the flavor: 2 garlic Bulbs 1 tbsp Olive Oil 1 lb butter, softened 1 tbsp white pepper 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped 4oz Cream Cheese 8oz Sour Cream 5 lb red potatoes, 1" slices, skin on 3 lb Russet potatoes, 1" slices, skin on 6 qt water 2 tbsp salt, for boiling Add sliced potatoes to salted boiling water and boil until tender. Drain. Coat garlic with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place in muffin tray and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add garlic, butter, white pepper, cilantro, chives, Cream Cheese & Sour Cream and lightly mash, but be careful not to overmash. Leave lumps. Serve immediately or refrigerate, uncovered, and portion when cooled. Hope this helps. I’m sorry, but this recipe is not even close to the official Bennigan’s recipe.
