Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head garlic, plus 2 cloves
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
4 sprigs rosemary
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, sliced, plus more for the baking dish
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
3/4 to 1 cup whole milk, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚. Slice off about 1/4 inch from the top of the garlic head. Place cut-side up on a piece of foil. Top with the olive oil and a pinch of salt; snap a rosemary sprig in half and place on top of the garlic. Wrap in the foil. Roast until the garlic is soft and golden, about 1 hour. Carefully open the foil and let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of the skin; discard the rosemary.
  • Meanwhile, butter a 2-quart baking dish. Smash the remaining 2 garlic cloves; add to a large pot along with the potatoes and the remaining 3 rosemary sprigs. Cover with cold water by 1 inch and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain well; discard the rosemary sprigs.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 450˚. Press the potatoes, boiled garlic and roasted garlic through a ricer or food mill back into the pot. (Alternatively, return the potatoes and boiled garlic to the pot along with the roasted garlic and mash with a potato masher.)
  • Fold in the butter until melted. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup milk until smooth. If the potatoes still seem thick, gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup milk as needed. Season with salt.
  • Transfer the mashed potatoes to the prepared baking dish. Bake until browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes.

  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more to taste. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with cheese and bread crumbs: This will give them a golden brown crust and a cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the mashed potatoes in the oven: This will help to melt the cheese and brown the bread crumbs.
