Ingredients

1 head garlic
Olive oil
2 pounds red potatoes, washed well and quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Slice off the very top of the garlic head. Drizzle head with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a sheet tray and bake until tender and fragrant, roughly 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Remove the cloves and mash with a wooden spoon.

Place potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender and drain. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

Meanwhile heat butter and cream until butter melts. Add the roasted garlic and potatoes and mash all together.

Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

OH MY!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are dangerous! I can't believe that there was a time in my life when I put lipton garlic soup mix in my potatoes. I... could have eaten the whole 2lbs of these. I used 1/2 cup of whole milk and 3 tblsp. of butter and they were still buttery, garlicy and oh so creamy! Read more

I made these potatoes and my husband and I LOVED them. They were perfect tasting, and the roasted garlic did wonders for... these potatoes. They make really great food. I will be making this again tonight! Thank you!Read more

seriously , two people to mash a pan of potatoes? i've finally figured out why this show is not one of my favorites. more... than half the show is not about cooking but telling us time and time again day after day how much they love each other.but then again if they could really cook they would not have to keep telling us Read more

Lovely and creamy potatoes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have outdone myself with this recipe. My potatoes were perfect and I felt they were on par with what I would expect at any... good restaurant in nyc. Potatoes were not overwhelmed with garlic but just enoughRead more

Excellent flavor, but too runny
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were so full of flavor and quite easy to make. My only problem is I used a ricer to mash the potatoes and they ended... up being too thin. My family doesn't like too much lumpiness, so I thought using the ricer like I usually do would work. But in this case it was too much. I think I'd need to cut the amount of heavy cream if I use the ricer again, and it would be ok. But I"m going to try them with just a regular masher and see how it works. Definitely will be using this recipe again. Outstanding flavor!Read more
