Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Nice alternative to plain mashed potatoes. You can make it low fat by switching butter to yogurt spread, and sour cream, cream to no fat alternatives.

  • 2 heads roasted garlic heads*

  • 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 5 whole garlic cloves, peeled

  • 1 cup (8 ounces) butter, room temperature

  • 3 tablespoons sour cream

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook potatoes and the 5 garlic cloves about 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; remove from heat and drain. Return potatoes to pot and stir over medium heat until excess moisture evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Squeeze out the cloves from the cooled roasted garlic heads and add to the mashed potatoes with the other ingredients. Mash potatoes, garlic, and roasted garlic cloves with a potato masher until there are no lumps. Add butter, sour cream, and heavy cream; blend until well mixed. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
