Mashed Potatoes + Roasted Garlic
These mashed potatoes are for garlic lovers! If you want more garlic in your life, this is the recipe for you! The recipe itself is really simple but has some special ingredients.
The mashed potatoes are creamy, flavorful and rich with heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
They are then topped with lots of roasted garlic soaked in olive oil.
Finish the presentation with a touch of olive oil or melted butter, fresh thyme, and freshly ground black pepper!
When is roasted garlic ready?
Roast the garlic until it turns a rich golden color and is very soft. Let the garlic cool and then squeeze out the cloves.
Make Ahead Tip
Roast the garlic a day or two in advance. Since garlic takes almost 1 hour to roast, you can skip this step and keep the roasted garlic in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
What type of potatoes are best for mashing?
Russet potatoes (also known as Idaho potatoes or baking potatoes) are starchy and work great for both mashing and baking. They have a high starch content which is perfect for pureeing. They are not waxy like red potatoes.
Yukon Gold potatoes are also great for mashing, as they are quite starchy, but hold their shape a little better than russet potatoes.
