Garlicky Potato Mash (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 whole garlic bulb
02 -
1 tsp cooking oil
03 -
2 pounds red spuds, cleaned and chopped into quarters
04 -
Kitchen salt, as needed
05 -
6 tbsp unsalted butter
06 -
3/4 cup cream mixture
07 -
Ground black pepper, as needed
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Trim about 1/4 inch from the garlic bulb top. Fold it in foil and pour cooking oil on top. Wrap the foil tight and pop it in a 375°F oven for roughly an hour. You'll know it's done when it feels super soft and looks golden brown. Just squeeze the soft cloves out when you're ready to use them.
02 -
Toss your potato chunks in a big pot and add enough cold water to cover them. Sprinkle in 1 tsp salt and heat until bubbling. Let them cook for about 15 minutes or until they're soft enough to poke easily with a fork.
03 -
Empty the water and put the spuds back in with the soft garlic bits. Warm up your cream mixture and butter until the butter melts completely. Pour this over your potatoes and garlic, then add salt and pepper. Squish everything until it's smooth but still has some small chunks.
04 -
Top your mashed spuds with some fresh herbs and a pat of butter before bringing them to the table.
