Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1 bulb garlic
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to set the stage for our star ingredient, the garlic.
- Cut the top off the garlic bulb and drizzle it with a little olive oil. Wrap it snugly in foil and send it into the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until they’re tender, which should take around 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them back to the pot to keep them warm and ready for mashing.
- Squeeze the beautiful, caramelized cloves of roasted garlic into the pot with the potatoes.
- Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the pot.
- Mash everything together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with chives if desired.
