Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby Yukon Gold potatoes
- 8 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the tips off the garlic cloves but leave the skins on. Place the cloves on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them into a small foil packet.
Place the garlic packet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
Meanwhile, wash the baby potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot to allow excess moisture to steam off for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully squeeze the roasted garlic out of their skins into the pot with the potatoes.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, butter, heavy cream, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Using a potato masher or large fork, smash the potatoes and garlic together until well-combined and slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Stir in the chopped parsley and serve warm. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
