Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 Garlic bulb
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes until soft and golden.
While the garlic roasts, peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Once the garlic is done roasting, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins and mash them with a fork.
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, milk, and chopped rosemary over low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is warmed through.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer. Gradually add the warm milk mixture and mashed garlic, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh rosemary if desired, and serve warm.
