1
Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Take the whole garlic bulb and cut off the top quarter to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
2
Prepare the Potatoes
While the garlic is roasting, peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
3
Cook the Potatoes
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
4
Drain and Mash
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the potatoes. Add the unsalted butter and heavy cream.
5
Mix and Season
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the fresh chives.
6
Serve
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with extra chives if desired. Serve warm.
