Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 head Garlic
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.
While the garlic roasts, peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Add a pinch of salt to the pot, bring to a boil, and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them with a fork. Add the mashed garlic, butter, and warm milk to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes until smooth and fluffy, or use a hand mixer for an ultra-creamy texture.
Fold in the chopped parsley and thyme, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
