Ingredients
- 8 large heads of garlic
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 pounds red potatoes, washed, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- melted butter, for garnish (optional)
- parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving enough on the ends to create a packet.
- Peel and discard the papery outer layer of the garlic bulbs, keeping the bulbs intact.
- Cut off the top ½ inch of each garlic bulb to expose the cloves.
- Place the garlic heads, cut side up, on the lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil.
- Fold the aluminum foil over the garlic, creating a large packet.
- Bake the garlic for 60-70 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and deep golden brown.
- Set the roasted garlic aside to cool.
- Place the potatoes into a large pot. Cover with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 25 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, off the heat.
- Lightly mash the potatoes in the pot.
- Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash the mixture to your desired consistency.
- Squeeze all of the roasted garlic cloves into a medium bowl, discarding the remaining skin.
- Mash the garlic until smooth. (This makes about 1 cup.)
- Add the mashed garlic, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mix well.
- Serve the mashed potatoes warm, topped with more melted butter and fresh parsley.
