Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 2

    Roast the Garlic

    While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Roast for about 30-40 minutes until soft and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins.

  3. 3

    Mash the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic, butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
