Ingredients:
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.
