Ingredients
- 2 heads garlic
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 2 pounds (900g) potatoes peeled and quartered (russets, maris piper etc)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup (170g) milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F /175 C.
- Rub the oil onto the whole, unpeeled heads of garlic, then wrap them in foil and place on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hour.
- Add the potatoes to a large pan of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, allow to cool slightly and chop.
- When the garlic has cooled enough to handle, cut in half, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small pot. Add the butter and heat until melted. Remove from the heat and allow the butter to infuse with the garlic for 5 minutes (or longer).
- Mash the cooked potatoes with the melted garlic butter (including the cooked cloves, or remove them), milk and sour cream and season with a little salt and pepper.

Notes
- Storing: Your roasted garlic mashed potatoes can be stored cooked in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Freezing: Place the garlic mashed potato in a freezer safe ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. Flatten the potatoes in the bag so they are in a single layer. Freeze for up to 4 months.
- Keep the skins on the potatoes for extra fiber, nutrients and an earthy flavor.
- Add some fresh or dried herbs to your mashed potatoes when seasoning them. Herb garlic mashed potatoes are amazing!
- Grate on a little parmesan or cheddar cheese, then put it under the broiler or grill for a cheese or parmesan crust.
- Add a bit of truffle salt to your garlic mashed potatoes for an even more elevated flavor profile.
- Use a combination of your favorite potatoes such as red bliss, fingerling or golden potatoes.
- To lighten up the calories, mash in some roasted cauliflower.
- Drizzle with Mushroom Gravy or Vegan Gravy.
