Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the tops off the heads of garlic so the tops of the cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap tightly in foil. Place directly in the oven or on a baking tray, and roast for 1 hour or until very soft and browned on top. Let cool until safe to handle.
2
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot. Add the 2 cups of water (or more as needed) to fully submerge the potatoes with about 1 inch of water above them. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.
3
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, drain the water completely and return the potatoes to the pot.
4
Add the softened butter to the pot with the drained potatoes. Using a potato masher or electric hand beaters, mash the potatoes until creamy, with little or no chunks remaining.
5
Stir in the milk, mayo, cream cheese (if using), and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Start with ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt and a pinch of pepper, then adjust as desired.
6
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves directly into the potato mixture. For a smoother texture, you can mash the garlic into a paste before adding it. Mix well to evenly incorporate.
7
Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

1
For ultra-creamy potatoes: Warm the milk slightly before adding it to the mixture.
2
For fluffy mashed potatoes: If you have a potato ricer, I highly suggest using that as it makes the mashed potatoes extra fluffy.
3
Make-ahead tip: Roasted garlic can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
