Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
Roasted garlic and parmesan mashed potatoes are a delicious and flavorful twist on traditional mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Roasted Garlic
- 1 head garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil
Mashed Potatoes
- 5 lbs red potatoes cubed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 sticks butter room temperature
- 1 block cream cheese room temperature
- 1 head roasted garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream room temperature
- 1 ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
Roasted Garlic
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Get a head of garlic and cut the top of it to expose the inner cloves.
- In a baking dish, place a small sheet of aluminum foil. Add the garlic and pour oil on top.
- Close the aluminum and bake the garlic for 45 minutes.
- Once garlic is done, cool before handling. To get cloves out, gently smoosh the cloves out.
Mashed Potatoes
- Wash your potatoes, cube them and throw them into a pot. Cover the potatoes with water. Boil until fork tender.
- While waiting on potatoes to boil and garlic to roast, shred the parmesan cheese.
- Once potatoes are fork tender, drain potatoes in a strainer and put back into pot.
- In the large pot of potatoes, add butter, cream cheese and garlic. Mash with the potato masher until desired consistency.
- Add parmesan, heavy cream, salt and pepper. Be sure to taste in this step to make sure you have it seasoned enough.
- Depending on how thick you like your mashed potatoes, you may want to add more or less cream to them. We personally like ours pretty thick.
- Bon appetit!
