Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/4 pounds yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes), cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 generous teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic in small ovenproof cup or ramekin. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 25 minutes. Cool; peel garlic, reserving oil in cup.
  • Brush 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Cook all potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Return all potatoes to same pot.
  • Add milk, butter, rosemary, roasted garlic and reserved oil to potatoes. Mash until smooth and fluffy, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to thin to desired consistency. Mix in 3 tablespoons cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon potatoes into prepared dish. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cheese over; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake potatoes uncovered until heated through and golden on top, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties are starchy and will mash smoothly.
  • Baking the garlic cloves mellows their flavor and makes them more palatable.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have either of these tools, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher until they are smooth.
  • Add milk, butter, and cream cheese a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. You don't want the mashed potatoes to be too runny or too thick.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or rosemary, before serving.

Conclusion:

These baked garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to serve mashed potatoes, give this recipe a try.
