Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
2 potatoes
400g
1/3 cup light sour cream
72g
1 tbsp butter
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven for Roasting Garlic:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare and Roast the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and place them on a small piece of aluminum foil.
- Drizzle a few drops of olive oil over the garlic cloves, then fold the foil to enclose them.
- Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and golden brown.
3. Prepare the Potatoes:
- While the garlic is roasting, wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
4. Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle boil.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Mash the Potatoes:
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the roasted garlic, light sour cream, and butter to the potatoes.
6. Combine and Season:
- Use a potato masher or a hand mixer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl.
- Your roasted garlic mashed potatoes are now ready to enjoy!

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest texture.

- Roast the garlic cloves wrapped in foil with a drizzle of olive oil for about 20-25 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to bring out a mellow, sweet flavor.

- Ensure the potatoes are evenly cut into chunks to cook uniformly.

- Warm the butter and sour cream slightly before mixing them into the potatoes to keep the mashed potatoes hot and prevent cooling down the mixture.

- Use a potato masher or a ricer for the best texture; avoid using a blender or food processor, which can make the potatoes gluey.

- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and consider adding chives or parsley for a touch of freshness and color.

With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, roasted garlic mashed potatoes can transform any meal into a feast. The creamy texture and savory roasted garlic flavor make this dish a standout. Whether serving for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these mashed potatoes are sure to become a favorite at your table.
