Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 whole garlic bulbs, top sliced off
1 tbsp olive oil
6 tbsp salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
Sea salt to taste
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Slice the top 1/4 inch off each garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 40 minutes until golden and soft.
Place cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and boil for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender.
Drain potatoes thoroughly and return to the warm pot to dry for 2 minutes.
Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or hand masher.
Fold the mashed roasted garlic, warmed milk, and softened butter into the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

Ensure the potatoes are fully drained and dried in the pot before mashing to avoid a watery consistency. Warming the milk before adding it to the potatoes helps the starch absorb the liquid better for a creamier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
