Preparing a bulb of garlic for use as a garnish on a baked potato. To obtain maximum nutritional benefits from garlic it should be crushed and allowed to settle for at least 15 minutes or longer.A tortilla press is ideal.Each separate clove with skin intact was pressed. The skin is separated easily.A piece of soft bread was utilized to sop up any juice on the press surfaces. The pressed garlic was allowed to sit for 15 minutes, then fried in butter at low heat for about 10 minutes. This will be used as a garnish for a baked potato. The press need be oiled lightly to prevent rusting.This simple process will encourage more consumption of garlic, which is possibly a plus.
