Best Recipe for Jen's Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 whole heads garlic, top third sliced off and discarded
  • olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1 cup butter
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place garlic heads in a baking dish and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until garlic is soft and brown, about 45 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in sea salt. Cook potatoes in the salted water until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain.
  4. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and add sour cream, cream cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Cover bowl with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil and let mixture stand for 5 minutes to soften butter and cream cheese, about 5 minutes.
  5. Squeeze roasted garlic from the cloves into the potato mixture; mash potatoes until smooth, creamy, and thoroughly combined.
