For Mashed Potatoes:
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 6 large cloves garlic, peeled
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ to 1 cup whole milk, warmed
- kosher salt
- pepper
Instructions
Prepare Roasted Garlic:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove excess papery skin from garlic, leaving cloves intact. Use a sharp knife to slice top off cloves.
- Drizzle olive oil over exposed cloves, then rub into cloves with your fingers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Wrap garlic in foil, then roast until cloves are tender and browned, about 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set aside. When cool enough to handle, squeeze garlic cloves from skins, then chop.
Prepare Mashed Potatoes:
- Peel potatoes (if desired), then chop.
- Add potatoes to a large pot, along with 6 garlic cloves (raw, not roasted). Cover potatoes with cold, well-salted water.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove lid, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook potatoes until tender.
- Drain potatoes, then add sour cream and butter. Mash, adding just enough milk to reach desired consistency.
- Stir in chopped, roasted garlic, then season potatoes generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve potatoes hot. Enjoy!
