Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Serves: Six | Prep: 10 min | Cook: 50 min
Ingredients:
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
1 whole head garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy/double cream
3-4 fresh thyme sprigs
4-5 fresh sage leaves
Directions:
Preheat oven 400F/200C.
Peel and discard any papery outer layers from the whole head of garlic. Cut 1/4-1/2-inch from the top of the bulb. Place bulb into a piece of foil or into an ovenproof dish with a lid. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast, 30-40minutes, until tender. Let cool slightly before handling.
Add potatoes to a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover potatoes by 1-inch. Add salt. Bring to the boil, cook 20 minutes, until fork tender. Add butter, milk, cream, thyme and sage to a saucepan. Squeeze in the roasted garlic and cook over low heat, until warm.
Drain potatoes, place back into the pot. Remove fresh herbs from the butter mixture and add to the potatoes. Mash, until smooth.
