Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- Kosher salt
- 8 to 10 garlic cloves
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover by 1-inch with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, add salt, to taste, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, create a boat shape out of aluminum foil and add the garlic cloves. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and drizzle with oil. Seal the foil and roast until the garlic is nicely caramelized, about 30 minutes. Heat the half-and-half in a small saucepan over low heat until hot.
Drain the potatoes and put them back into the pot. The heat from the pot will continue to dry out the potatoes. Add the half-and-half, butter and roasted garlic and mash. Fold in the apples and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

This was off-the-chain. I made this as a side at a charity banquet for our church in February. I am still having people walk up to me in stores and comment about how good they were. The apples give a nice contrast to the potatoes. I was a little skeptical about these combinations until I tried them. Awesome Guy! Keep 'em coming!

Different but REALLY good. I used twice the amount of garlic called for and fat free half & half and it turned out great. The roasted garlic is sweet and the crisp, coolness of the Granny Smith Apples just gave the dish whole different dimensions than plain mashies. This was PERFECT with a glazed, spiral sliced Ham & Roasted Asparagus. You should try this with your Easter Ham....everyone will be SO impressed. The potatoes do not need gravy but maybe a little of the pan drippings on the plate and serve the potatoes on top. Thanks GUY. Just about every recipe of yours that I try is top notch. Keep em' coming.
PS.......I just had the left overs last night. A hint here.....don't underestimate or under use the fresh cracked black pepper in this dish. So many people use white pepper or none at all in Mashies. The fresh cracked (and I used a lot just accentuates perfectly the sweetness of the roasted garlic and the apples. I can't get over how much I LOVE this recipe.
