Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Is there anything more classic than mashed potatoes?
When I think about Sunday dinners growing up, I always think of roast beef, gravy, and, of course, mashed potatoes.
And the mashed potatoes were always my favorite. I don’t know what it is about having a pile of buttery potatoes covered in gravy…but it’s just so comforting.
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bulb garlic
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Remove paper-like skin from the outside of the garlic bulb, leaving cloves attached.
3. Cut ¼ inch from each garlic bulb’s top (stem side), exposing the cloves’ top.
4. Pour olive oil over the top of the cloves.
5. Wrap each garlic head tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
6. Bake for 55 minutes or until the cloves are tender.
7. Cool slightly before separating cloves. Squeeze to remove garlic. Mash the garlic into a paste using the back of a spoon or spatula. Set aside.
8. Pour about 10 cups of water and salt into a large stock pot. Add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain well and return to pot.
9. To the potatoes, add the garlic, sour cream, and butter. Mash the potatoes together with the other ingredients using a potato masher or the back of a large spoon.
10. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
There are many different ways to make mashed potatoes, but this recipe is delicious. It has garlic, sour cream, and butter, which all combine together for a memorable and fantastic flavor.
I usually use Russet potatoes instead of other kinds, which always seem to turn out well.
Many mashed potato recipes include milk or heavy cream, but I think omitting that dairy helps for a fluffier and more delicious mashed potato.
