Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Place the foil-wrapped garlic on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the garlic is roasting, peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit in the pot for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the pot with the potatoes.
Add the butter, heavy cream, and milk to the potatoes. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the potatoes gummy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
