Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 bulb garlic, roasted (instructions below)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for roasting garlic)
- Optional garnish: Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped
Instructions
Roast the Garlic
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice off the top of the garlic bulb, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 40 minutes until soft and caramelized.
Prepare the Potatoes
- While the garlic roasts, peel and cube the potatoes.
- Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
Infuse the Heavy Cream
- In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream or milk over low heat.
- Add the sprig of rosemary and grated Parmesan cheese. Let it gently simmer for 5-7 minutes to infuse the flavors, stirring occasionally. Remove the rosemary before adding the mixture to the potatoes.
Mash the Potatoes
- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the softened butter, infused cream, and roasted garlic (squeezed from its skin).
- Use a potato masher or hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
Season and Serve
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish with parsley or chives and serve hot!
Notes
- Cheesy Boost: Add extra Parmesan or substitute with Gruyère for a nuttier flavor.
- Herbal Notes: Experiment with thyme or sage for a different aromatic profile.
- Light Version: Replace heavy cream with almond or oat milk for a lighter dish.
- Texture Preference: For chunkier mashed potatoes, mash lightly and leave some pieces intact.
