Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- While the garlic is roasting, wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
- 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.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the roasted garlic, light sour cream, and butter to the potatoes.
- 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.
- 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.
