A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, featuring the rich flavor of roasted garlic.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking of the garlic.
Cut the top off the garlic heads to expose the cloves.
Cutting the tops allows the garlic to roast evenly and makes it easier to squeeze out later.
Place the garlic heads in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and cover with foil.
Covering with foil traps the heat and helps the garlic become tender.
Roast in the oven for about 55 minutes until the garlic is soft and caramelized.
Check the garlic by piercing with a knife; it should be very soft.
Let the garlic cool, then squeeze the cloves into a bowl and mash.
Mashing the garlic ensures it mixes evenly into the potatoes.
Boil water in a large pot and steam the potatoes in a steamer basket until tender.
Steaming preserves the potatoes' flavor and nutrients better than boiling.
Mash the steamed potatoes in the pot with butter and roasted garlic.
Mashing in the pot keeps the potatoes warm and makes mixing easier.
Add milk, salt, and pepper, and mix until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Adding milk gradually helps achieve the desired consistency.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, drizzled with any reserved garlic oil.
Drizzling with garlic oil enhances the flavor and presentation.
