Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
First off, let’s talk about those heavenly roasted garlic flavors that make this dish sing! These mashed potatoes are the perfect mix of buttery goodness and roasted garlic vibes. So, let’s get into how to make them.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
- 1 head of garlic
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, let’s roast the garlic. Preheat that oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle a little olive oil over it, wrap it in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until it’s sweet and soft.
- While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop your potatoes into even chunks. Throw them in a big pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, usually about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the garlic is ready, let it cool a bit, and then squeeze those roasted cloves into a bowl. You’ll mash them all up until they’re smooth and delicious.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add in the butter and mash those potatoes until creamy. You can use a hand masher or a mixer depending on how smooth you like your mash.
- Pour in the heavy cream, add the roasted garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Stir it all together until combined. Taste it and adjust the seasoning if you need to. That flavor should be on point!
- To finish, scoop the mashed potatoes into a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if you’re feeling fancy.
And just like that, you’ve got yourself some creamy, dreamy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes that will make any meal feel special. Serve them up hot and watch how quickly they disappear. Enjoy and happy cooking!
