Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 head garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk (or more as needed)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic head to expose cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 35-40 minutes until soft.
- While garlic roasts, peel and cube the potatoes. Add them to a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Drain potatoes and return to the pot. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the pot and add butter.
- Mash until smooth, then stir in sour cream and milk. Adjust consistency with more milk if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped chives before serving if desired.
