Ingredients
- 3 heads garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 8 Russet potatoes
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
To Top:
- 2 tbsp pesto
- 2 tbsp pecans Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place 3 piece of aluminum foil on the counter.
- Peel the loose papery layer of the garlic heads, and then trim the top so the cloves are exposed.
- Place each garlic head on one piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with one tbsp of olive oil. Wrap the aluminum foil tightly around each garlic head and place on a baking sheet.
- Roast the garlic heads for 45 minutes to an hour until the garlic cloves are very very soft to touch. Once they are fully roasted, you can take the cloves out by simply pinching the bottom of each clove, they will easily pop out. Once you've taken out all the garlic cloves, set them aside.
- Peel the potatoes and wash them thoroughly. Chop the potatoes into chunks. Place a pot on the burner and place the potatoes in the pot.
- Add water to the pot just enough to cover the potatoes. Turn the heat to medium high and boil the potatoes.
- Once the potatoes are fork tender and fully cooked, take them out of the water and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are still quite warm, add the butter to the potatoes and start mixing using an electric hand mixer.
- Once the butter is mixed, add the roasted garlic cloves and mix using the hand mixer.
- Gradually add in whole milk and mix at the same time until creamy and smooth.
- Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the garlic butter mashed potatoes to your serving bowl and top with basil pesto and pecans if desired.
Notes
- You can use homemade pesto or store-bought for this recipe.
