The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

If you love the creamy, garlicky mashed potatoes from Applebee's you're in luck. Make them at home with this copycat recipe with freshly roasted garlic.

2 pounds red potatoes
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup garlic cloves
Place a single layer of garlic cloves on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Roast in 400 degrees F preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until soft.
Unwrap and let cool until touchable. Peel cloves and mash with potatoes when they are ready.
Wash and rinse potatoes under cold water. It is not necessary to peel potatoes, unless you desire.
In large saucepan, bring red potatoes to a slow boil for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain in colander.
In pan or bowl, combine potatoes, peeled and roasted garlic cloves, and all other ingredients and mash with a potato masher. Keep warm.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
