Ingredients

• 2 lbs Red bliss potatoes
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red bliss potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves, place them on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for 15–20 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 4

While the garlic roasts, place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12–15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 6

Once the roasted garlic is done, mash it with a fork or the back of a spoon to form a paste.

Step 7

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 8

Add the mashed roasted garlic to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds to release its aroma.

Step 9

Pour in the heavy cream and stir until heated through, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 11

Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet and gently toss them in the cheese sauce to coat evenly.

Step 12

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure even heating.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Red Bliss Garlic Potatoes!
