Roasted Garlic Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

garlic

olive oil

Yukon Gold potatoes,

unsalted butter,

buttermilk (see Recipe Notes)

+ ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

black pepper

for serving: freshly snipped chives, tons of freshly cracked black pepper

Roast the garlic

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Chop just the top off of the head of garlic, to just reveal its cloves. Lightly rub the garlic to loosen and remove any excess paper. Wrap the garlic in foil, drizzling it with the olive oil before you seal the foil, then place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Cook the potatoes

Meanwhile, as the garlic roasts, cook the potatoes. Place the diced potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven and cover with 8 cups cold water, or enough to completely submerge the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon Kosher salt. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Carefully strain the potatoes, then return to the pot.

Mash the potatoes

Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. As you’re mashing the potatoes, slowly add in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, and the buttermilk. Alternate as you go &#8211; a little butter, then a little buttermilk. Once the potatoes have reached your desired consistency, add in the roasted garlic &#8211; the cloves should squeeze out of the garlic bulb very easily. Stir to combine. Taste and season with additional salt and ground black pepper, to taste. I add ½ teaspoon each, taste, go from there.

Serve

the roasted garlic buttermilk mashed potatoes immediately, with lots of freshly cracked black pepper &amp; freshly snipped chives, as desired. Enjoy!

You haven't lived until you've tried these mashed potatoes.  SO CREAMY. SO GARLICKY.  SO PERFECT.  Honestly, I could just eat these for dinner and be perfectly happy.

My sister used this recipe for thanksgiving and they were amazing! I have russet potatoes on hand, will I have to adjust anything to use this recipe?

Made these for our small Thanksgiving this year and OH MA WORD...the yummiest!! 
Sad truth: I had never roasted garlic at home before. 
Beautiful truth: It's the easiest thing in the world, and now I'll never not do it. Thank you so much!!
