Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 Garlic bulb
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for about 5 minutes to let any remaining moisture evaporate.
Add the butter, heavy cream, milk, roasted garlic paste, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or cream if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
