Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 heads garlic, split in 1/2
3 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
1 stick butter, cubed
1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Squeeze or remove the garlic cloves from the head and place in a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the garlic until smooth. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and drain. Place the potatoes back in the pot and return to the heat. Stir the potatoes, constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes to dehydrate the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the heat. Add the garlic and butter. Using a hand-held masher, mash the butter and garlic into the potatoes. Add enough cream until desired texture is achieved. The potatoes should still be sort of lumpy. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and creamy.
  • Roast the garlic first: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and makes it more spreadable.
  • Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest, creamiest mashed potatoes.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes: Overmixing will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the potatoes with herbs or cheese: This will add extra flavor and color to the dish.

Conclusion:

These roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are a great way to use up leftover garlic. So next time you're looking for a side dish that will impress your guests, give these roasted garlic mashed potatoes a try.
