Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 pounds red potatoes (washed and quartered)
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • Fresh ground pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare the garlic by cutting off the top and drizzling with olive oil. Wrap it in foil and roast for about an hour until golden.
  2. In a large pot, cover quartered red potatoes with cold water and add kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves into the pot.
  4. Warm the half-and-half and butter together until melted, then pour into the potato mixture along with salt and pepper. Mash until creamy but slightly lumpy for texture.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or additional butter if desired.
