Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 5 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 large head of garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into even sized cubes
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- optional toppings: chopped fresh chives, green onions, or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Trim ¼ inch off the top of the garlic bulb (the pointy part). Place cut-side up on a piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Place the garlic in a muffin tin, drizzle with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil, and cover with foil. Roast for 60-70 minutes or until the cloves are deeply golden brown and tender. Alternatively, you can wrap the garlic in the foil if you don't have a muffin tin. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Use the back of a chef’s knife or your fingers to squeeze the garlic out of the peel. Then smash into a paste using a fork and set aside.1 large head of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Feel free to peel your potatoes or leave the skins on (I peel mine). Then cut them into 4 chunks, and transfer them to a large stockpot full of cold water.5 pounds russet potatoes
- Once all of your potatoes are cut, be sure that there is enough cold water in the pot so that the water line sits about 1 inch above the potatoes. Stir 1 tablespoon sea salt into the water. Then turn the heat to high and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain the boil) and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, or until you can easily poke the potatoes with a fork. Carefully drain out all of the water.
- Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mash with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add salt and pepper to taste, butter, roasted garlic, and slowly pour in the milk while mixing. Then fold in the cheese.1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter,, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
