Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 head Fresh garlic
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the garlic roasts, peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Place the potatoes in a large pot. Fill with cold water until the potatoes are fully submerged, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, gently squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the empty pot. Allow them to sit off the heat for 1-2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsalted butter, heavy cream, and milk over low heat until warm. Do not bring to a boil.
Add the roasted garlic paste to the potatoes. Using a potato masher or a ricer for creamier results, mash the potatoes to your desired texture.
Gradually mix in the warm butter-cream mixture, stirring until the potatoes are smooth and velvety. Add the remaining salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your restaurant-style garlic mashed potatoes!
