Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe

American · Side dish · 40 min total

Creamy mashed potatoes infused with roasted garlic for a rich, savory flavor. This easy side dish pairs perfectly with roasts, steaks, or holiday meals.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 head garlic
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, warmed
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the top off the garlic head to expose cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 25 minutes until soft. Let cool, then squeeze cloves into a bowl and mash with a fork.
2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Drain potatoes well and return to the pot over low heat for 1 minute to dry. Remove from heat.
4. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or ricer until smooth. Add roasted garlic, butter, warm milk, and warm cream; stir until combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Fold in chives if using. Serve hot.

Tips

• For extra creamy potatoes, use a ricer or food mill instead of a masher.
• Warm the milk and cream before adding to prevent the potatoes from cooling down.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
