Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)

Equipment

  • potato ricer
  • large pot
  • foil
  • saucepan
  • mixing spoon
  • serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Cut off the top of a garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F for about 35 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze out the soft cloves.
  2. Peel and chop the potatoes evenly. Place them in a pot, cover with salted water, and boil until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. While warm, mash the potatoes using a ricer for a smooth texture.
  4. In a small saucepan, warm butter, cream, chopped rosemary, and roasted garlic until butter melts and mixture is fragrant.
  5. Stir the warm infused mixture into the mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.
  6. Optional: Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve warm, garnished with fresh rosemary or melted butter drizzle.

Notes

To lighten the recipe, substitute half the potatoes with cauliflower. For a dairy-free version, replace butter with olive oil and cream with oat milk. Add Parmesan for a savory twist, or drizzle truffle oil for a holiday upgrade.
