Garlic Mashed Potatoes

RECIPE: GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F On a sheet pan drizzle olive oil on the peeled garlic cloves, place in the oven and roast for 9 minutes but don’t burn the garlic. Remove and let cool. Once cooled, slice the garlic in thin slices and set aside.

In a measuring cup add the heavy cream and parmesan cheese together and whisk and set aside. Meanwhile, bring a large pot to a boil add salt and boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes. The potatoes are ready when they are tender and slide off a fork when poked.

Remove the potatoes from the pot and drain well and transfer to a medium working bowl and add the butter, ¼ cup of the heavy cream/cheese mixture and the thin sliced garlic. Using a hand masher, break down the potatoes, butter and garlic enough so the hand mixer can whip the potatoes evenly. Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes until light and creamy but still firm- about 1-2 minutes. While mixing, add the remaining ¼ cup heavy cream/cheese mixture and season with kosher salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer to a serving bowl
