Creamy and flavorful, these Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with any main course. The roasted garlic adds a rich, savory depth to the classic mashed potatoes, making them a standout dish on any dining table.

Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Garlic:

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Mashed Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into quarters
  • kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup half and half
  • fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Roast the garlic: Cut the top 1/4 inch off of the garlic head. Wrap the garlic head in foil and drizzle olive oil over the garlic. Close the foil around the garlic and roast in the oven at 375 degrees F for about an hour. The garlic will be very soft and golden when done. When ready to use, you can easily squeeze the garlic cloves out of the skin.
  2. Cook the potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Add 1 tsp salt and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
  3. Mash the potatoes: Drain and return potatoes to the pot, along with the roasted garlic cloves. Gently warm the half and half and butter until the butter is melted. Add to the pot with the potatoes and garlic, along with salt and pepper. Mash until milk and butter are incorporated and potatoes are a creamy consistency with some lumps.
  4. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs and more butter before serving.
