A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, featuring roasted garlic and a creamy texture.
Place the red potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces can reduce cooking time.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to coarsely mash them.
Leave some chunks for a rustic texture.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add them to the mashed potatoes.
Roasting garlic beforehand enhances its sweetness and mellows its flavor.
Stir in the milk, butter, chicken broth, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Warm the milk slightly before adding to prevent cooling the potatoes.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
For a vibrant presentation, sprinkle chopped parsley or chives on top.
