Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap the foil tightly, and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.
While the garlic roasts, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit over low heat for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher, ricer, or hand mixer, depending on your preferred texture.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Mash the roasted garlic cloves into a paste using the back of a knife and add them to the mashed potatoes.
Pour the warm cream and butter mixture into the potatoes and mix until creamy and smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
