Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 6 garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 2-inch chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the roasted garlic. Place the unpeeled garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and fold the foil to create a sealed packet.

Step 6

Roast the garlic packet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

Step 7

Once the garlic is roasted, carefully squeeze the cloves out of their skins and mash them into a paste using a fork.

Step 8

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 9

Add the butter, heavy cream, mashed roasted garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 10

Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. Add more heavy cream if needed for a smoother texture.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
