Mashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Roast Garlic

Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.

3

Prepare Potatoes

While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

4

Cook Potatoes

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

5

Drain Potatoes

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a minute or two to remove excess moisture.

6

Mix Ingredients

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the potatoes. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper.

7

Mash Potatoes

Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.

8

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
