Roasted Garlic Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Roast the Garlic

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.

   Prepare the Potatoes

   While the garlic is roasting, wash and peel the red bliss potatoes. Cut them into quarters and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Boil the Potatoes

   Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the pot. Add butter and heavy cream, then mash until smooth and creamy.

   Add Chives and Season

   Chop the chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
