Ingredients
1
head
roasted garlic
(or 2 if you want them to be extra garlicky)
5
pounds
Yukon Gold or Butter Potatoes,
peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
½
cup
salted butter,
cut into chunks (1 stick)
½
cup
whole milk,
warmed
1
teaspoon
kosher salt
(to taste- add more if needed)
¼
teaspoon
ground black pepper
(to taste- add more if needed)
Instructions
Place potatoes into a pot of cold water so they're covered with an inch or two of water on top of them.
Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Place butter at the bottom of the mixing bowl.
Drain potatoes well and pour them into the mixing bowl over the butter while still steaming hot. Give them a minute so the butter can begin to melt.
Begin mixing with your electric mixer (or a potato masher) to start breaking the potatoes up a bit.
Add roasted garlic, milk, salt and pepper. Mix more until well combined and no chunks remain.
Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
Notes
This can be made earlier in the day and held on warm in a slow cooker.
