Recipe courtesy of: Jessica McCoy




Ingredients:



3 large potatoes, peeled and quartered

... 2 heads garlic, cut in halves

1/2 cup cream

2 tbsp. melted butter

2 rosemary or 1 tsp. rosemary

olive oil

salt and pepper



Preparation:



Boil potatoes in water with salt for at least 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and mash potatoes until smooth. Using potato ricer is preferred but it is optional as a standard masher can be used.



Slice head of garlic in half and set aside in a square of aluminum foil. Add some olive oil and a little bit of salt on the top of garlic. Top with fresh or ground rosemary. Put the other half of garlic back on top, as if making a sandwich, and add another table spoon of olive oil. Wrap tightly in the aluminum foil. Bake in oven at 400 degrees at least 40 -45 minutes. Remove from oven and peel.



Meanwhile, in a sauce pan combine cream and butter. Stir until smooth and well combined over low, medium heat. Set aside.



In a mixing bowl with mashed potatoes combine, peeled baked garlic, cream and butter mixture, salt and pepper. Stir until well incorporated. Adjust seasoning according to taste.



Serve on a platter with favorite main dish.



Enjoy your roasted garlic mashed potatoes!
