Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.75 cups Asiago cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap them tightly in the foil, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic roasts, peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 2 inches).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over low heat to help evaporate any excess moisture, stirring for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and mash the cloves into a paste using a fork.
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, heavy cream, and milk over low heat. Warm the mixture, but do not let it boil.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer. Gradually fold in the warmed butter and cream mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Stir in the roasted garlic paste and grated Asiago cheese. Mix until the cheese has melted and is evenly distributed.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Asiago cheese or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
