Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.
- Place the peeled and chunked potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from the bulb and mash them into the potatoes.
- Add butter, warm milk, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra richness, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream or add grated Parmesan cheese.
