Scale
Roasted Garlic
- 1 garlic bulb
- 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
Mashed Potatoes
- 1kg (2.2lbs) potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 125ml (1/2 cup) double cream
- 125ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 56g (4 tbsp) butter
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Roasted Garlic: Preheat the oven to 175°C / fan 155°C / 350°F / gas mark 3.
- Slice the top of the garlic bulb off to expose the cloves.
- Place the garlic on a sheet of foil and drizzle with olive oil, then wrap it up and place it in the oven.
- Roast for 40 minutes or until the garlic is very soft and golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Mashed Potatoes: Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. This should take between 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the potatoes and let them steam dry.
- For best results, put all of the potatoes through a potato ricer to ensure a perfectly smooth mash. Alternatively, you can place them back in the pot and squish them with a potato masher.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic’s innards onto the mashed potatoes and then stir in the cream, milk and butter. Once everything is well incorporated, season to taste.
- Place the mashed potato in a suitably sized oven proof dish and smooth over evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes then serve immediately. Enjoy!
