Directions How To Make Garlic Mashed Potatoes
· Roast garlic, remove cloves and mash.
· Boil potatoes until very tender, drain and mash.
· Stir warmed milk, cream and butter and roasted garlic into potatoes.
· Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Tips for This Recipe
· These are intended to be slightly lumpy which is why no beater or potato ricer is is used and they are simply mashed by hand and stirred with a spoon. With that said just be sure you cook the potatoes through until they are soft.
· A fork should glide right through them when they are done and some will even fall apart. Since they are lumpy you don’t want stiff lumps. No thanks. Lumpy, textural potatoes are a good thing here as

· I don’t recommend serving these with chives. I know a lot of potato recipes can benefit from some chives but here it will just compete with that incredible roasted garlic flavor so leave them off.
And lastly, this isn’t intended to be a healthy recipe, we all need to splurge a little sometimes so don’t hesitate to add a some extra butter over the top. MMMMM buttery, garlicky, extra delicious mashed potatoes. My kind of comfort food!
