Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic head on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly.
  3. Roast the garlic in the oven for 40-50 minutes, until the cloves are soft and golden brown. Let cool slightly.
  4. While the garlic roasts, place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  5. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  6. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a large bowl.
  7. Add the drained potatoes to the bowl with the roasted garlic.
  8. Mash the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher or a ricer until mostly smooth.
  9. Add the warmed milk and butter to the mashed potatoes. Stir until combined and creamy.
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy texture, use a potato ricer.
  • Adjust the amount of milk and butter to achieve your desired consistency.
  • You can add a pinch of fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor and color.
