Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 garlic bulb
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the bulb in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
While the garlic roasts, peel and chop the potatoes into 2-inch pieces.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Over low heat, allow the potatoes to steam off excess moisture for 1-2 minutes.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the potatoes.
Add the butter, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper to the pot.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious garlic mashed potatoes!
