Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Cut off the top of the garlic head, exposing the cloves. Place the head of garlic on a sheet of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it tightly in the foil.

3. 3

   Place the foil-wrapped garlic on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft and golden.

4. 4

   In the meantime, wash the small potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added flavor and texture.

5. 5

   Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a generous amount of salt to the water.

6. 6

   Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

7. 7

   While the potatoes are cooking, remove the roasted garlic from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Squeeze out the soft, roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a small bowl.

8. 8

   Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic cloves, milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes.

9. 9

   Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.

10. 10

    Serve the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes hot.
