Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Homemade roasted garlic mashed potatoes on white plate

Creamy and flavorful roasted garlic mashed potatoes, perfect as a comforting side dish for any meal. This recipe combines tender potatoes with sweet roasted garlic for a rich, savory taste.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from the bulb and mash them into the potatoes.
  4. Add butter, warm milk, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. 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.
