Method

Preparing Potatoes

  1. 1

    Peel and Chop Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Russet potatoes into quarters for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Boil Potatoes

    Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Roasting Garlic

  1. 3

    Prepare Garlic for Roasting

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil.

  2. 4

    Roast Garlic

    Place the wrapped garlic in the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized.

Mashing Potatoes

  1. 5

    Drain Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.

  2. 6

    Add Ingredients for Mashing

    Add the butter, roasted garlic (squeezed out of the skins), and heavy cream to the drained potatoes.

  3. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with black pepper to taste.
