Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the garlic. Peel the garlic cloves and wrap them in a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil before sealing the foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, heat the butter, heavy cream, and milk over low heat until the butter has melted completely. Be careful not to bring it to a boil.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer for an extra smooth texture.
Step 7
Add the roasted garlic by squeezing the soft garlic out of its peel directly into the mashed potatoes.
Step 8
Pour the warm butter mixture over the potatoes. Add the salt and pepper, then stir until the potatoes are creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving. Enjoy your creamy garlic mashed potatoes as a comforting side dish!
