How To Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. Roast the Garlic: Slice the top off the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 15ml olive oil, sprinkle with 3g salt, and wrap in foil. Bake for 30-40 minutes until soft. Let it cool.
3. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop the 900g potatoes into 2.5cm chunks. Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water, add 3g salt, and boil for 15 minutes until tender.
4. Warm the Cream and Butter: Heat 80ml cream and 42g butter in a pan or microwave until warm.
5. Mash the Potatoes with Garlic: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the potatoes and mash.
6. Add Cream, Butter, and Season: Add the warm cream and butter, mash until smooth, and season with extra salt if needed.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Yukon Gold Potatoes: They give a creamy and smooth texture that’s perfect for mashed potatoes.
• Don’t Overmix: Overbeating the potatoes can make them gluey. Mash gently for the best texture.
• Roast the Garlic: Roasting garlic brings out a sweeter, milder flavor compared to raw garlic.
• Warm the Cream and Butter: Warm ingredients mix better, giving the mashed potatoes a smooth consistency.
• Season Gradually: Taste and adjust the salt to avoid over-seasoning. You can always add more, but you can’t take it out!

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the potatoes cool to room temperature before putting them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Freeze the mashed potatoes for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Reheat the mashed potatoes in a pan on low heat. Stir and add cream or milk if needed.
