Roasted garlic mashed potatoes with chives is a delicious and creamy side dish that combines the rich flavor of roasted garlic with the freshness of chives. Perfect for any occasion, these mashed potatoes are sure to impress your family and guests.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the peeled garlic cloves on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tsp of olive oil and fold the foil into a sealed packet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown. Once done, remove and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the garlic is roasting, peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
- Place the potato pieces in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
- Add the roasted garlic cloves to the pot with the drained potatoes.
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes and roasted garlic together until smooth and well combined.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of butter to the mashed potatoes, and continue mashing until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
- Gradually pour in the warm milk, mashing continuously until the potatoes reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Stir in 3/4 tsp of salt, adjusting to taste as needed.
- Fold in the finely chopped chives, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with the reserved chives on top for a fresh touch.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy with your favorite main dishes.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
- Make sure to roast the garlic until it's soft and golden brown, as this will enhance the flavor.
- Warm up the milk and butter before adding them to the potatoes to keep them hot and easy to mix.
- Adjust the amount of salt and chives according to your taste preference.
