Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes are creamy, buttery, and packed with the rich flavor of slow-roasted garlic. This classic comfort food makes the perfect side dish for any dinner, especially during the holidays.

Ingredients

  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds red potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 45 minutes until soft.
  3. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes or until tender.
  4. Drain potatoes and return to the pot.
  5. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and add to the potatoes.
  6. Add milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for an even creamier texture.
  • Add a splash more milk for a softer consistency.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
