Decadent Garlic Mash Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by roasting the garlic. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 40-45 minutes until soft and golden.
• STEP 2.While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
• STEP 3.Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the roasted garlic cloves, butter, cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• STEP 4.Serve the Decadent Garlic Mash hot, garnished with chopped parsley or chives, if desired.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to roast the garlic until it is soft and golden. This will bring out its natural sweetness and mellow the flavor.
• For extra creaminess, you can add more butter or cream to the mash.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a potato ricer or a food mill to mash the potatoes.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Decadent Garlic Mash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, transfer the mash to a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the Decadent Garlic Mash as a side dish with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as a delicious topping for shepherd's pie.
