Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes are the perfect side dish to serve with beef or chicken. My son always requests that I make them whenever I make his favorite meatloaf recipe. Everyone loves these potatoes!
How to Make Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
You’ll begin by roasting the garlic. It’s super simple to do. Just cut a little slice off the head of the garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and roast until browned. It’s creamy, mild and so darn good after roasting. Next you’ll tend to the potatoes. It’s not often that you see a good mashed potato recipe that begins with red potatoes. This one begins with six large red potatoes. There is no need to peel them! A simple chop and boil method is what this recipe calls for. Then you’ll mash them with the skins on. After mashing, the potatoes are combined with buttery sauteed green onions, cream cheese and that roasted garlic! Add a little salt and pepper, sprinkle with paprika, and bake for a few minutes in the oven. That’s it!
The result is some of the best mashed potatoes you’ve ever eaten. They’re so good! If you’re looking for more potato recipes, you might also enjoy my Perfect Mashed Potatoes or my Creamy Oven-Baked Mashed Potatoes. This Loaded Garlic Mashed Potato Casserole looks pretty amazing too.
