Ingredients

• 4 large (about 2 lbs) Russet potatoes
• 1 whole bulb Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized.

Step 3

While the garlic roasts, peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks (about 1 1/2 inches).

Step 4

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute or two to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 6

Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the butter and heavy cream over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warmed through.

Step 8

Add the roasted garlic paste, butter and cream mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Big Daddy S Garlic Cheese Mashed Potatoes!
