Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 2-inch pieces.
Step 2
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Step 6
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and free of large lumps.
Step 7
Add the roasted garlic, heated cream mixture, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
