Description
Creamy and flavorful garlic mashed potatoes made with roasted garlic and Parmigiano, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet, or a mix)
- 1 whole head of garlic (use two for more garlic flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting the garlic)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half or whole milk)
- ¾ cup grated Parmigiano
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off 1 head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30 minutes in an air fryer or 40 minutes in a 400°F (200°C) oven. Let it cool, then squeeze the cloves into a bowl and mash.
- Boil the Potatoes: Add potatoes to a pot of cold, salted water, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam escape.
- Rice the Potatoes: Slice potatoes in half and press through a potato ricer, discarding the skin.
- Whip and Finish: Warm butter and cream together, pour into riced potatoes, add mashed garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir gently, adjust seasoning and consistency as needed.
Notes
For an extra garlicky flavor, use two heads of garlic. Make sure potatoes are similar in size for even cooking. Don’t overmix to keep them light and fluffy.
