Best Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium head garlic, top of bulbs trimmed off so tops of cloves are exposed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• 0.5 cup milk
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gather all of your ingredients for the roasted garlic mashed potatoes.
2. Drizzle olive oil generously over the garlic head. Wrap it securely in aluminum foil to trap the moisture and flavor.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the garlic cloves are soft, tender, and golden brown, approximately 1 hour.
4. While the garlic is baking (around 35 minutes in), bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and let them cool slightly for easier handling.
5. Return the cooked potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
6. Carefully remove the roasted garlic from the oven. Cut the garlic head in half and squeeze all of the softened, flavorful cloves into the potato mixture.
7. Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes and garlic until they are smooth and creamy, achieving your desired consistency.
8. Serve your delicious roasted garlic mashed potatoes immediately and enjoy! They are the perfect comfort food.
