We conquered classic mashed potatoes a long time ago. But with all the delicious variations out there, our work is far from done. So we took on a beloved restaurant staple -- garlic mashed potatoes. The result? Taste and see!
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove papery outer layer from garlic, leaving skins around the cloves intact.
- Slice off the top of the garlic head, ¼ - ½ inch, exposing the tops of the cloves.
- Place garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with oil, and use your fingers to coat.
- Wrap foil tightly around garlic, enclosing it completely. Place in a baking pan.
- Bake garlic in the oven for about 40 minutes, until soft enough to mash. Set aside to slightly cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove.
- While waiting for the water to boil, peel and cube the potato.
- Add potato and cauliflower to boiling water.
- Return to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium.
- Cook until potato and cauliflower are very tender, 15 - 20 minutes.
- Drain water and transfer potato and cauliflower to a large bowl; set aside.
- Once foil-wrapped garlic is cool enough to handle, unwrap garlic and remove cloves; discard skin. Add the soft cloves to the large bowl.
- To the bowl, add half & half, butter, and salt.
- Mash it all together with a potato masher, until completely blended. If you like, season to taste with pepper and additional salt.
- If needed, bring to desired temperature in the microwave or oven. Top with chopped chives, if you like, and enjoy!
